Report: Bundesliga giants target Brighton midfielder in summer move
Borussia Dortmund Eye Brighton's Facundo Buonanotte Bundesliga Interest in Brighton Starlet Grows According to a report by Sky in Germany's Patrick Berger, Borussia Dortmund have shown renewed interest in Brighton and Hove Albion's young midfielder, Facundo Buonanotte. The Bundesliga side have followed his development since his early days at Rosario Central in Argentina, and now appear ready to make their interest more concrete. Buonanotte, still only 20 years old, spent last season on loan at Leicester City. Despite a promising individual campaign, the Foxes were relegated from the Premier League, casting a shadow over his loan spell. Nonetheless, the Argentine international continues to attract admirers for his technical ability and creative flair. Picture:IMAGO Dortmund's Recruitment Strategy Aligns with Buonanotte's Profile Dortmund are no strangers to scouting young talents and polishing them into elite performers. From Jadon Sancho to Jude Bellingham, their track record in nurturing youth is formidable. It's no surprise, then, that Buonanotte is on their radar. 'He fits the profile of player Dortmund are looking for as they aim to add in the No. 10 and winger positions,' reported Berger. That profile includes technical ball control, intelligent movement, and the potential for explosive growth — all of which Buonanotte appears to possess. Though currently under contract at Brighton for another three years, the Seagulls may find themselves in a position where they must evaluate both the player's career trajectory and the club's broader plans under new manager Fabian Hürzeler. Brighton's Decision Looms Brighton face a familiar crossroads: hold onto a young talent with vast potential, or cash in while his stock remains high. In previous windows, the Seagulls have shown they won't hesitate to sell—provided the price is right. Buonanotte's loan to Leicester suggests he wasn't in Hurzeler's immediate plans last season. However, with three years remaining on his deal, Brighton hold the cards. They can afford to demand a premium if Dortmund's interest becomes a formal bid. Opportunity for Both Clubs and Player For Dortmund, Buonanotte offers a chance to inject youth and creativity into their attacking midfield. For Brighton, this could represent another example of astute business — signing young talent, developing them, and eventually turning a profit. Meanwhile, for Buonanotte himself, a move to Germany might offer the regular top-flight football and developmental support needed to reach the next level. His flair and eye for a pass would likely complement Dortmund's transitional style of play. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Brighton fan's perspective, the interest in Facundo Buonanotte by Borussia Dortmund is both flattering and slightly frustrating. It's a sign that the club's recruitment model continues to identify elite potential before others catch on. But there's also the nagging feeling that fans haven't seen enough of him in an Albion shirt. At 20, Buonanotte has plenty of time to develop — and fans were hopeful that under new management, he'd finally be integrated into the first-team setup more consistently. His loan to Leicester may have ended with relegation, but his individual contributions showed promise. Letting him go now, especially if the fee isn't reflective of his potential ceiling, might feel premature. Still, many fans understand the club's model. Brighton aren't in the business of hoarding players — they're in the business of smart football economics. If Dortmund come calling with a sizeable offer, and Buonanotte wants the move, Albion will likely oblige — provided they've already lined up the next gem. Ultimately, the fanbase will back the club's decision. But there's hope that Buonanotte can at least have a proper chance to prove himself in blue and white before any move becomes reality.
