Brighton midfielder Brian Gruda is getting ready to bid farewell to the English side this summer. The 22-year-old German creative talent joined the Seagulls in 2024 for approximately £25 million, but his Premier League journey has been hampered by injuries and an inconsistent run of form. Gruda has managed to net 4 goals and provide 8 assists across 45 matches for Brighton.
Last season’s second half saw the midfielder spending time on loan at Rb Leipzig, and he has remained with the German club for the current campaign. Since then, Gruda has hit a rich vein of form, scoring 5 goals and contributing 5 assists, convincing the Leipzig hierarchy of his potential.
According to renowned sports insider Ekrem Konur, Rb Leipzig is poised to activate the buyout option included in his loan agreement. The transfer fee is set to be £25 million, and with Gruda’s contract at Brighton running until 2028, the Seagulls will likely be amenable to negotiations.
