The most recent rumors and news regarding transfers involving Brighton & Hove Albion and other Premier League teams
Deniz Undav, a forward for Brighton & Hove Albion, is adamant about staying on loan at VfB Stuttgart.
With 15 goals this season, Undav, 27, has been in excellent form for the Bundesliga’s leading team. He was included in the Germany team for the first time in his career due to his performances, and last weekend he made his debut for his nation by coming on as a second-half substitute in their 2-0 victory over France.
Undav left Brighton last summer to sign a season-long loan with Stuttgart, with the option to buy. It seems sense that the Germans are eager to exercise the option, and Undav has expressed his intention to make the change permanent. “I would be happier if this could happen sooner, but it’s a gradual process,” Undav stated to Sky Sports Germany following his debut in a foreign country. “There are other parties involved, so I can’t make a decision on my own. All you can do is hope for the outcome you desire.
After a successful stint in Belgium with Union SG, Undav was bought by Brighton in 2022 for an estimated £7 million. His contract with the Seagulls expires in June 2026, so while Brighton would consider waiting it out, they might also be open to a transfer this summer.
Undav’s worth has increased by double so far this season, and his call-up to the Germany squad might make him even more valuable and in higher demand elsewhere. If Undav does well for his nation in Germany at Euro 2024 this summer, his transfer value might also soar.
Despite Undav’s desire to move quickly, Brighton is known for their astute approach to the market, therefore it’s unlikely that the club will approve a trade before this summer’s competition. Tony Bloom, the chairman of Albion, is more likely to stand off and complete any possible transfer after the July Euros.
