brighton and hove albion Midfielder Matt O’Reilly is on Borussia Dortmund’s summer transfer list as they plan to make additional changes in key areas.

Sky Sports Germany report The 25-year-old is also on the list of possible names for Dortmund this summer.

The website reports that Borussia Dortmund are looking to strengthen their squad in areas they consider important as soon as possible this summer.

Creative, attacking play is the top priority to replace Julian Brandt. But a playmaker in the defensive midfield would also be a welcome addition. One is expected to arrive at some point this summer.

Although the budget is tighter than the German side expected, Dortmund believe they will have the funds to make a deal. New sporting director Ole Book is already ‘working intensively’ behind the scenes on the new transfers.

O’Reilly is one name on this list. Manager Niko Kovac is believed to find the central midfielder ‘interesting’. And so, Bucs have inquired about the terms of a potential deal with Brighton.

He is supported by the club’s scouting department. He also finds the 25-year-old Danish international ‘interesting’.

€15-20m required

At this time, Dortmund believe any deal would cost between €15-20m. The likes of Transfermarkt value the late midfielder. But Brighton paid €29.5m for him in 2024, so will certainly be pushing for a sum closer to that figure.

It has been unclear what their intentions are with Matt O’Reilly this summer. He returned to the club in February after a loan spell at Marseille and has made only six appearances in the Premier League this season.

In fact, he has sat on the bench as an unused substitute in his last three matches. In fact, he has spent a grand total of 25 minutes since returning from France.

This suggests he is not in Brighton’s plans to move forward and a deal has to be made for Dortmund if they move.

In the last few months, sports witness are keeping an eye on Ivan Ferguson’s loan at AS Roma and the general struggles of the Brighton player.

The Italian side saw him start with promise, especially in the preseason. He impressed against Bologna and Pisa but then took several weeks to score his first goal. He came on against Cremonese in November.

Amidst all this, Ferguson was struggling with fitness. There was resentment at Roma for playing for Ireland despite injury and then for allegedly being overweight.

Soon, he lost his starting spot and then an ankle injury kept him out of action. Those concerns still remain, with Ferguson returning to Brighton to seek counselling. There was also a possibility of surgery but there is still uncertainty about his medical condition.

Corriere Della Sera – relayed by dejeroma tvReport that the striker has been wearing a brace and using crutches for several weeks now.

For this he took the help of Brighton and went to England. But it did not yield any concrete results. That’s why Ferguson will have a new counseling session in the next few days and is considering surgery.

It is looking increasingly likely that the 21-year-old will miss a game for Roma before the end of the season.

IInjuries are becoming a pattern for Ferguson

Unfortunately, the Brighton player has been plagued by injuries over the past several seasons.

Initially, there was promise at Roma and he was being given priority over Artem Dovbyk. He also faded away due to fitness concerns and that just defines the player’s problems.

DajeRomaTV also noted that Gasperini has not always been impressed by the striker’s attitude. This is something a player can control, even if injuries prevent him.

Fabian Herzeler is under no pressure at Brighton & Hove Albion despite his current poor form.

This is according to Sportbild. The German newspaper reports that, internally, there are no concerns about Brighton dropping to 14^th Place.

Herzeler has faced increased criticism in recent weeks as Brighton have slipped down the Premier League table.

Brighton are currently without a win in their last six league matches and have only one win in their last 13 matches.

Those results have pushed them down to 14th after previously being in contention for Europe.

Recent results have increased the pressure, particularly a 1–0 home defeat to rivals Crystal Palace. What followed was a heavy 3–0 defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup that certainly did not suit the German’s cause.

The team was also criticized by a small section of the domestic audience after the recent defeat. For his part, Herzeler has insisted that he does not feel any pressure from the club’s hierarchy at this time. This is also a term from Sportbild.

According to their information, there is ‘no doubt’ about the 32-year-old. This is despite poor form and questions over the team’s utilisation.

In fact, the focus is really on making that team better. This information regarding Herzeler’s future comes in the wake of a report regarding a new attempt from Cologne to sign Said El Mala.

Summer exit still possible

However, whether this is correct or not remains to be seen. Brighton will certainly be asking questions about Herzeler’s future given his slide.

Although there may be plans for immediate dismissal, they could just as easily be thinking about a summer separation.

This is something they have done in the past. Roberto De Zerbi left at the end of the first season after increasing pressure midway through the campaign. Such a strategy certainly fits into Brighton’s long-term planning and thinking.

However, for now, reports in Germany suggest that Herzeler is not in danger.
