Brighton & Hove Albion’s next offer for Koln star Said El Mala will be their last as they look to secure a deal during this international break.

sportbild report That there have been several phone calls recently between Brighton and Koln’s new squad planner, Tim Steadten.

The Seagulls are increasing pressure on El-Mala for final negotiations.

Koln is taking his time

However, the German club is taking its time. They have recently changed manager and that means he has not yet established a clear position at El Mala. This will be resolved during the international break.

Sports director Thomas Kessler and Steidten want to take their time and define the ‘exact minimum acceptable value’.

They also want to determine when is the right time to negotiate and which club should be contacted first.

brighton benefits

Brighton aren’t alone in moving forward. Said El Mala and his brother Malek recently parted ways with their agent, instead leaving their parents in charge of their future. Chelsea are among those interested.

But Brighton have the advantage. He has already got the green signal to talk to the player’s mother Sabrina El Mala. She is now handling his representation.

Furthermore, Brighton have made solid offers for both sons. This puts them ahead of the competition as brothers would love to be together. The other suitors are only interested in Saeed at this time.

long term seagulls efforts

Brighton have been actively pursuing the family for nine months and have already submitted several offers. They are the only ones who want both the brothers.

Now their aim is to finalize the transfer as soon as possible. They would like to schedule a personal meeting with Köln’s management during this international holiday.

Hopefully his next proposal will be his final proposal. And they are not expected to spend more than €35m on the 19-year-old. Bonus will also be added to that.

They have to meet with Colon and make an agreement.

For now, the Bundesliga club is on hold. They look to finalize their stance and price this international break before entering into any negotiations with Brighton or other suitors.

Do your work.’ It was an adjustment. “I haven’t been around a lot of coaches that can rub off on you like that,” Ball said.

“I think Stan Van Gundy was a little strict. But other than him, there’s not really any hard coaching here. I got a lot of hard coaching in college and really by my pops.”
