Brighton FC have officially announced a remarkable transfer deal, as they have successfully signed 20-year-old German striker Gruda from Bundesliga rivals Mainz. The transfer not only adds new vitality to Brighton's forward line, but also highlights the club's ambition in the transfer market.
According to Plettenberg, a senior reporter for Sky Sports Germany, Gruda's transfer fee totaled as much as 35 million euros, a figure that far exceeds the 30 million euros previously reported by Romano. Plettenberg further explained that this total price of 35 million euros includes a fixed transfer fee and an easily realizable floating clause, showing Brighton's high optimism and confidence in Gruda's future development.
The signing of Gruda has certainly brought great excitement and anticipation to the Brighton fans. As a young striker of only 20 years old, he has already shown remarkable strength and potential in the Bundesliga, and is considered to be a rising star in the German soccer world. Brighton's success in bringing in Gruda this time is undoubtedly an important addition and enhancement to the team's strength.
It's worth noting that Mainz still retains Gruda's right to a second transfer share in this transfer. This means that if Gruda performs well at Brighton and moves to another club in the future, Mainz will be able to receive a share of the transfer fee. This clause also shows that Mainz recognizes and protects Gruda's value.
