Bid Anticipation for Scottish Midfielder
Brighton and Hove Albion are reportedly open to bids exceeding £10 million for their Scottish midfielder Billy Gilmour. The club turned down an £8 million offer from Napoli, but the Italian heavyweights seem poised to up their bid for Gilmour’s services.
Contract Strength Gives Brighton Edge
With a contract running until 2026, Brighton sit comfortably in the driving seat for negotiations over Gilmour. The Scotland international’s agreement with the Seagulls provides them with a solid bargaining chip in the transfer market.
Gilmour’s Future in Balance Amidst Napoli Interest
Despite joining Brighton’s pre-season tour in Japan, Gilmour’s future at the club hangs in the balance as Napoli’s interest intensifies. The midfielder’s departure could hinge on the progression of talks with the Serie A club.
Profitable Move for Seagulls
Having signed Gilmour from Chelsea for £7.5 million in 2022, a sale above £10 million would yield a tidy profit for Brighton. The funds could be reinvested to strengthen the squad further.
Experience on Offer
The 23-year-old brings a wealth of Premier League experience to any interested parties, boasting 79 appearances in England’s top division. Gilmour’s significant role last season saw him start 24 league games and make 41 appearances across all competitions for Brighton.
Reinvestment in the Squad
Brighton are not just focused on outgoings, as they have their sights set on Leeds United’s Georginio Rutter. Despite a £30 million bid being declined, the Seagulls are expected to return with a renewed offer for the forward.
Setback for Seagulls Star
In a separate development, Brighton have been dealt a blow with the news of an injury sidelining one of their key players for six weeks, potentially influencing their transfer market activities.
