Julio Enciso has made his intentions for next season crystal clear, as the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder eyes a more prominent role at a higher level once his loan spell ends.
The Paraguayan international found limited opportunities under Seagulls boss Fabian Hürzeler earlier this campaign, prompting a temporary move to Ipswich Town in search of regular minutes. Since arriving, the 21-year-old has featured consistently under Kieran McKenna, contributing one goal and three assists.
With his current deal at Brighton set to expire in just over a year, Enciso spoke openly in a recent interview with Rádio Rock & Pop Paraguay—quotes later relayed by *Coluna Do Fla*—about what he hopes lies ahead.
“I have a contract with Brighton for another year. If you ask me, I want to continue playing at a high level, I want to have continuity,” the midfielder explained.
His comments reflect a desire to push on and secure more meaningful playing time, ideally in a competitive environment that matches his ambitions. With Ipswich currently languishing in 18th and facing likely relegation, remaining with the Championship side is not seen as a viable option.
Reports earlier this month linked the Brighton loanee with potential summer moves to Brazilian giants Flamengo and Portuguese side FC Porto. However, both rumours were swiftly quashed: *O Jogo* dismissed FC Porto’s interest on April 4th, while *Bolavip Brasil* later stated Flamengo are no longer pursuing the player either.
With interest from abroad cooling and his Brighton contract running down, a big decision awaits both Enciso and the Premier League club in the upcoming transfer window. Whether he will be reintegrated at the Amex or moved on permanently remains to be seen, but the player’s message is clear—he’s seeking stability, consistency, and a platform to perform at the top level.
