German Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg recently reported that Premier League clubs
Brighton
Still pursuing the signing of Mainz's young winger
Gruda
The 20-year-old German player made 29 appearances in all competitions last season. The 20-year-old German player made 29 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring four goals and three assists, showing a lot of potential and strength.
According to Plettenberg, Brighton have made contact with Gruda's team and have received a positive response indicating that Gruda himself is willing to join Brighton. There doesn't seem to be much of a hurdle between the two sides when it comes to personal terms. However, Brighton have yet to enter into formal negotiations with Mainz over Gruda's transfer.
Mainz are wary of Gruda's departure and want to keep the talented young player. Gruda's contract runs until 2026, which gives the club some room for negotiation, and Plettenberg notes that the deal is complicated by the fact that Brighton need to reach an agreement with Mainz, who don't seem to be in a hurry to sell their key player.
For Brighton, the addition of Gruda will be an important addition to their attacking end. His speed and breakthrough ability will bring new energy to the team. However, they need to show enough sincerity and patience in the transfer market to convince Mainz to release him.
For Gruda personally, this transfer could be a major turning point in his career. He will have the opportunity to showcase his talents and add to his career in a high level league like the Premier League.
Overall, Brighton's interest in Gruda shows their desire to strengthen the team's offense. However, the completion of the deal will depend on the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides and Mainz's plans for Gruda's future.
