Said El Malas Set for Major Premier League Move: Parents Agree Terms
Brighton have stepped up interest in Said El Malas, according to Filmogaz.com. The Premier League club is prepared to raise its offer substantially this summer.
Proposed transfer package
Cologne could receive about €35 million plus performance-linked bonuses. The deal would also include a sell-on clause for the German side.
El Malas is a German U21 international. A move would mark a major Premier League transfer for the teenager.
Contract and financial terms
Brighton are reported to be offering a five-year contract. Total guaranteed wages are near €20 million, with performance pay able to increase that amount.
Negotiations and club personnel
Cologne sporting director Thomas Kessler is involved in the talks. New squad planner Tim Steidten, once on West Ham’s staff, is also in the discussions.
Brighton want to conclude the transfer quickly, sources say. The club hopes to finalise terms before the window advances.
Sibling interest
Brighton are also interested in El Malas’s brother, Malek. He plays for Cologne’s U21s and is reportedly part of Brighton’s scouting focus.
Other clubs reportedly do not plan to pursue the younger sibling. That factor may strengthen Brighton’s negotiating position.
