According to the latest report from the authoritative Italian sports media Gazzetta dello Sport, Brighton midfielder Gilmour has reached an agreement with Napoli, and he is about to leave Brighton to start a new career in the southern Italian city of Naples. The deal is currently in the final stages of negotiation and is expected to be formalized soon.
Gilmour is very happy and excited to join Napoli. He said he was pleasantly surprised by the interest from Napoli and believes that this transfer will be an important turning point in his career. Napoli and Serie A is a new challenge and opportunity for Gilmour, and he believes he can make a leap in his career here.
Gilmour spent his formative years in Chelsea's youth team and won the Champions League with the team in the 2020-2021 season. However, he didn't manage to get consistent appearances in Chelsea's first team and moved to Brighton in 2022 for a fee of €8.3 million. During his two seasons at Brighton, Gilmour grew into an excellent midfielder under the guidance of De Zerbi. Last season, he made 41 appearances for Brighton in all competitions, including 32 starts. Although he failed to score, he delivered two assists, making an important contribution to the team's midfield control and organization.
Despite Brighton's satisfaction with Gilmour's performances, they were unable to resist a sincere offer from Napoli. Brighton are said to have rejected Napoli's first €10 million offer, but the two sides are still negotiating over the transfer fee. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, an offer between 12 and 15 million euros should be enough to convince Brighton to let him go.
Gilmour himself has expressed a strong desire to leave the club, as he hopes to embark on a new adventure with new Napoli boss Antonio Conte. The Scottish midfielder believes that he will have more opportunities to grow and express himself in a dynamic and competitive team like Napoli.
With the deal becoming clearer, it is only a matter of time before Gilmour joins Napoli. We expect him to continue to play well in his new environment and bring more victories and honors to the Napoli team. Meanwhile, we wish Brighton will continue to perform strongly in the coming matches and bring more exciting matches to the fans.
