Liverpool-linked attacker ‘will go ahead’ with £25m Brighton deal after 10 days of talks
The Seagulls have been tracking the Germany under-21 ace throughout the summer and Gruda could even complete his reported £25m move before Albion’s first Premier League match of the season at Everton this Saturday.

According to a claim in the Turkish media, Fenerbahce defender Ferdi Kadıoğlu has reached an agreement with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Premier League side have been linked with the 27-year-old following his performances for Turkey at this summer’s Euros.
Sabah report today that Kadıoğlu could be on the verge of joining Brighton after they submitted a €35m offer. The left back was pulled out of last night’s Champions League qualifier against Lille through injury, but Sabah believe the reason is because he’s agreed to sign for the English side.
It’s claimed Fenerbahce will tomorrow make a decision on whether to accept the offer from the Seagulls, but it will be difficult for them to reject.
If the Yellow Canaries receive €35m for the Turkey international this will smash the transfer record for a player being purchased from the Super Lig, currently set at €30m.
Manchester United and Arsenal have also been linked with the defender this summer.Kadıoğlu made 41 appearances for Fenerbahce last season, scoring 3 goals. He’s contracted to the Yellow Canaries until June 2026.
But a club who brought in Pascal Gross, Moises Caicedo, Kaoru Mitoma Pervis Estupinan, Evan Ferguson, Alexis Mac Allister and many more proved long ago that, when it comes to unearthing and polishing rough diamonds, they are masters of their craft.
Yankuba Minteh, the teenager winger snapped up from Newcastle United after a superb spell at Feyenoord, was very much a trademark Brighton bit of business. As was the deal that reunites with speedy Gambian with Mats Wieffer.
Ibrahim Osman and Malick Junior Yalcouye, meanwhile, arrive from Scandinavian football in the hope of following in the footsteps of those who came before them at The Amex.Brajan Gruda, another typical Seagulls signing, will be the next new face in the building.
