Cologne star Sead El Mala has told teammates he is on holiday this summer brentford offer more than now brighton and Hove Albion.

Sport Bild reports that El Mala has told teammates that Brentford are prepared to match Cologne’s €50m asking price this summer.

Brentford step forward

The newspaper reports that there is a growing feeling within the Cologne team that Said Al Mala will not be there next season. The 19-year-old player is now on the verge of a move to the Premier League.

According to information from Sport Bild, he has given a clear indication to some teammates in the locker room that he will leave after one year at the club. He has made it clear that there is a club willing to pay Cologne’s €50m asking price.

That club appears to be Brentford. Reports first linked them in April. The Bees are now on the brink of qualifying for Europe, leading to a ‘serious step’.

The offer they have made is said to be more than that of Brighton. The winger could earn up to €4m in his first year with the Bees.

brighton frustration

Meanwhile, it appears that Brighton have missed out on the signature of Said El Mala despite chasing the signature of Said El Mala for a year. Talks with Cologne have made no progress.

Their next offer would also be well below the €50m expected by the German side. Sporting director Thomas Kessler and team planner Tim Steadten have not discussed the move with Brighton’s management.

Indeed, the Seagulls have been left fuming because neither the player nor his mother Sabrina, who now represents him, have made a clear commitment. Promises of talks were made with Colón, but he never stressed to Colón that Brighton was his priority.

Now the German side is expecting war. It appears Brentford are prepared to spend big to secure a deal. And behind the scenes, El Mala is making it clear that this move could go ahead.

brighton and hove albion Hoffenheim appear to have got ahead of the race for Saeed Al-Mala by making a move for a replacement for Bouzoumana Toure and ahead of Liverpool.

Sportbild’s report on today’s situation And the 20-year-old’s effort from Brighton was described by the newspaper as ‘technically superior’.

brighton look elsewhere

The newspaper states that the pair are potential rising stars in the Bundesliga this season. While Saeed El Malaa has scored 12 goals and five assists, Bouzoumana Touré has four goals and 12 assists.

Various clubs in Europe are interested in both, with Liverpool having been following Toure for some time. Now Brighton has ‘joined the race’.

After pursuing El Mala for months, they have already agreed on contract details with El Mala. He could earn €4m a year in the Premier League.

But Brighton and Cologne are ‘far off’ in their expectations. Whereas, Cologne want €50m Brighton will go up to €35m. That means the deal is closed at the moment. And so Brighton are looking for alternatives.

Concrete inquiry for Bazoumana Touré

Sportbild has learned that this has led to ‘concrete enquiries’ for Bazoumana Touré. It was made in the beginning of May. He is also a winger but of a different kind. While El Mala is adept at using his powerful physique and speed, Touré is ‘technically superior’ and more versatile.

He could also leave for €40m this summer. This has already been agreed and is close to the €35m that Brighton want to spend. Liverpool are also in the mix and are eyeing the 20-year-old as a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

No deal for Toure will be agreed until the end of the season. He is also expected to play in the World Cup, which may delay the matter further. This will only change if a top club like Liverpool takes some serious action ahead of the tournament.

But Brighton’s interest is being seen as a warning sign for Cologne. Seagulls won’t wait forever and are already looking elsewhere.

brighton and hove albionFC Koln’s pursuit of forward Said El Mala is stalling, with Everton and Fulham ‘likely to be involved in a bid’ for the 19-year-old, and Newcastle United being sent off.

Sport Bild report on the winger today And how Colon is keeping Brighton at an arm’s length and waiting for other suitors to step forward.

According to their information, Brighton have made an offer of €35m plus €5m to sign El Mala before the summer. However, Cologne are refusing to budge from the €50m minimum valuation.

For now, there is no deal in sight and Brighton’s patience is being tested. Conversations are taking place behind the scenes.

desire for big transfer

The stance inside the colon is clear. That said, the sale of El Mala next summer is already included in the club’s financial plans.

Sports directors Thomas Kessler and Tim Steadten maintain active contact with clubs and agents across England. They know that selling El Mala is necessary to finance the next phase of their team’s plan.

Chelsea have shown interest but have not yet submitted a formal bid. Newcastle United attempted to initiate negotiations, but were rejected by the player’s entourage. He reportedly indicated a preference for Brighton.

The El Mala camp is sending mixed signals

While Said El Mala’s family have told Newcastle they are leaning towards Brighton, the situation behind the scenes is more nuanced.

In discussions with Colon, El Mala’s mother Sabrina, who is now representing him, has made it clear that he is open to other clubs. This is even though Brighton is the preferred destination.

The family will only consider Brighton’s offer if the Premier League reaches an agreement with Colon over a transfer fee. No pressure is being put on the German side. This stance keeps the door open to new bidders.

Everton and Fulham hoped

While Brighton have been unable to close the gap, other Premier League clubs are preparing to make moves. Everton, Brentford and Fulham are considered potential suitors.

It looks like they are ‘likely to join the bid’ for El Mala at some point. This could certainly happen if the current standoff continues.

Colon is in no hurry. They have tied El Mala to a deal until 2030 and it does not include a release clause. El Mala is considered a rare long-term asset, and they want a high fee for it.

A transfer saga is ready to go

Brighton remain top in terms of player preference, but their reluctance to pay €50m has created an opportunity.

As a result, Everton, Fulham and Brentford are now hidden in the background. Chelsea are still hovering, while Newcastle could also make a second attempt despite having their rejection rejected.

The battle for Saeed Al Malaa appears to be just beginning. Despite the clear preference for Brighton among his representatives, his agent is certainly leaving the door open for anything.
