Brighton Still Eyeing El Mala

Brighton & Hove Albion remain keen on 1. FC Köln’s 19‑year‑old El Mala, even after pulling back a €35m bid. The club will not meet Köln’s €50m asking price.

Brighton has told El Mala’s mother that it still wants the young forward, but the club is not willing to meet the German side’s €50m demand. While Chelsea is also reportedly watching the transfer window, Brighton’s patience may be tested as the price could fall over the summer. sweetbonanza.qpon
