🚨REPORT :Amidst ongoing transfer talks, Paraguayan midfielder has confirmed that his agent is currently engaged in discussions with Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton and Hove Albion appear to be closing in on summer transfer target Diego Gomez.

   Albion are in talks with David Beckham’s Inter Miami for the Paraguayan midfielder and they hope to complete a deal worth around £10million.    The Seagulls reportedly made a £7m bid before this window, which Miami rejected.

   Gomez has impressed in MLS alongside Lionel Messi, scoring four goals with three assists in 27 games since joining from Libertad in 2023.

   Gomez has been linked with a move to West Ham in the past, but Brighton’s reputation for developing young talent – and the fact that his compatriot Julio Enciso is already established at Brighton – is believed to have swung the deal in Albion’s favour.

   Speaking to @deportetotalusa and @andreyanez07 via @RobertoRojas97 , Gomez said: “My agent is talking to Inter Miami and Brighton & Hove Albion, I’ve come to make a move to Europe. I hope it happens and whatever God wants.  “

   Gomez helped Inter Miami to the League Cup last year and has a contract with them until December 2026, with the option of another year.

   Brighton are still looking to add another midfielder to their squad as new boss Fabian Hurzeler prepares for his first year in charge.    Albion have already signed Mats Wieffer from Feyenoord for around £25m this term but are likely to offload Jakub Moder, who almost moved to Leicester earlier this month.

   The future of Pascal Gross is also in question, with Albion’s player of the year considering a new deal offer, alongside interest from Bundesliga clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund.

   Wieffer, Carlos Baleba, Billy Gilmour and potentially Gomez could compete for places in the middle next term.
