According to the latest news released by well-known Italian soccer journalist Niccolo Scilla via social media, Scottish midfielder Gilmour has officially submitted a transfer request to Brighton FC, and his next target is Serie A powerhouse Napoli. This news undoubtedly adds a splash of color to the upcoming transfer market.
Gilmour's departure from Brighton appears to be counting down as transfer talks with Napoli are in full swing, Skilla has revealed. What's more, Gilmour and Napoli have agreed on a personal contract that will last until 2029, with an annual salary set at €1.8 million. This deal is undoubtedly an affirmation of Gilmour's ability and shows Napoli's strong interest in the Scottish midfielder.
Looking back at Gilmour's career, he moved to Brighton from Chelsea in the summer of 2022 for a fee of €8.3 million. During his time at Brighton, Gilmour quickly settled in and became an integral part of the team. He made a total of 58 appearances for Brighton and contributed 4 assists, figures that fully prove his strength and value.
However, as his career continues to develop, it is clear that Gilmour is eager to show his talent on a higher stage. Napoli, as a traditional powerhouse in Serie A, has not only achieved success domestically, but is also competitive in Europe. This is an attractive option for Gilmour.
Brighton have yet to make a formal response to Gilmour's transfer request. However, it can be expected that as the transfer market continues to heat up, the final outcome of this transfer drama will gradually emerge. For Gilmour, no matter where he is in the future, he will continue to use his talent and hard work to bring exciting games to the fans.
