Brighton Plot Massive €15M Raid for Bundesliga Wonderkid – Shock Move Brewing Despite Fresh Contract and Zero Top-Flight Experience!
Brighton & Hove Albion are doubling down on their pursuit of rising German talent Said El Mala, despite the 18-year-old only recently penning a contract extension with Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln.
According to *Kölnische Rundschau*, the Premier League club is preparing an eye-catching €15 million bid in a renewed push to bring the teenage prospect to England. This would mark a significant jump from their previous €10 million offer, which Köln had declined. The new proposal reportedly includes a 20% sell-on clause, sweetening the deal for the German side.
While the offer is substantial—especially considering El Mala hasn’t yet played a minute of top-tier football and only has third-division experience—Brighton appear undeterred. Despite his inexperience, the Seagulls see major long-term potential in the Krefeld-born attacker.
This aggressive move comes just days after Köln locked down both Said and his older brother Malik with fresh deals, signaling the club’s intention to invest in their development. However, Brighton’s persistence may test Köln’s resolve, with the significant fee potentially tempting to the boardroom—even if the player himself may be hesitant to leave his home and family environment so soon.
El Mala’s future is now the subject of growing intrigue, as Brighton push forward with a bold gamble to secure a raw but high-upside talent before the summer window shuts.
