AliousBrighton Star Dismisses Bayern Munich Links – Commits Future to Seagulls Despite Bundesliga Giants’ Interest
Amid swirling rumours of a potential summer move to Bayern Munich, Brighton’s star winger has made his intentions clear: he’s staying put. According to *Sky Sports*, the highly sought-after attacker has informed the Seagulls of his desire to remain on the south coast and even sign a contract extension beyond his current deal, which runs until 2027.
The Bundesliga champions have been tracking the Japanese international closely, especially after Leroy Sané’s surprise transfer to Galatasaray created a vacancy on the left flank. But despite their admiration, Brighton appear poised to fend off any bids, with both the player and the club aligned on continuing their journey together.
Brighton’s new head coach, Fabian Hürzeler—who recently joined from St. Pauli—also moved to quash speculation surrounding the winger’s future. Speaking to *Sky Sports*, Hürzeler emphasized the team’s commitment to keeping their top performers:
> “We always try to keep our best players. He had a brilliant season, but that success is built on collective effort. That’s what allows individuals to shine—and he understood that last season.”
Hürzeler further confirmed that the winger is expected to return to training on Thursday as pre-season kicks off, adding:
> “I’m really looking forward to having him back. That’s the plan. We’re excited to continue helping him grow because I genuinely believe he hasn’t reached his full potential yet. He’ll remain a key part of our squad.”
With both player and club reaffirming their commitment, it seems any potential move to Germany will have to wait—if it happens at all. For now, Brighton fans can rest easy knowing their dynamic winger is focused on staying and building on last season’s success.
