Leverkusen interested in Dortmund target Buonanotte, Brighton prefer Premier League loan
However, Leverkusen have gotten similar feedback to what BVB received from Brighton regarding the Argentine talent.
Dortmund had offered a loan for €2-3million with a €25million option to buy, but ultimately found their offer rejected.
In an ideal world, Brighton would like to loan the 20-year-old within the Premier League for a couple of reasons.
One such benefit is that they're only allowed to loan out a maximum of six players to non-British countries.
It remains to be seen whether Leverkusen will submit an offer or will Dortmund try their luck for a second time.

On his 18th birthday, the Argentine international is having his official debut as a full-fledged player of the merengue team. And his jersey number is already known: it will be number '30'.
