Brighton Still Eyeing El Mala, But Köln Price Too High

Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed to Said El Mala’s mother that they remain keen on the young winger, despite pulling back a €35 million bid. The club is unwilling to meet Köln’s €50 million demand, leaving negotiations stalled and forcing Brighton to wait for a price drop.

Chelsea is also reportedly in talks to outbid Brighton and then loan El Mala back to Köln, although the London side faces financial uncertainty and a potential transfer ban. zeppelin.cool
