Football Manager 2024 predicts how the remainder of the summer transfer window could play out for Brighton.It’s another new start for Brighton and Hove Albion as they put the finishing touches to their preparations for their first season under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler.
The former St Pauli boss was named as successor to Roberto Di Zerbi earlier this summer and has wasted little time in making changes to the squad he inherited from the Italian. New signings have arrived in the form of Newcastle United winger Yankuba Minteh, Feyenoord midfielder Mats Wieffer and Nordsjaelland youngster Ibrahim Osman. There have been departures with midfield duo Pascal Gross and Adam Lallana heading for pastures new.
With just over three weeks remaining in the transfer window, Hurzeler’s squad is highly likely to be added to as the German looks to enjoy a productive first season in charge of the Seagulls. To get a prediction of how the remainder of the window could play out, we fired up Football Manager 2024 to see what incomings and outgoings the world’s most popular managerial simulation believes will come to pass at the Amex Stadium.
Goalkeepers
It was a case of one-in, one out in the Seagulls goalkeeping department. irstly, the outgoing came in the final week of the window as Bart Verbruggen was tempted away by a £12m offer from Saudi Pro League club Al-Etiffaq – although the main temptation may have come from an eye-watering £150,000-a-week wage offer. The Seagulls moved quickly to find a replacement as Lyon’s Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri arrived in a £4m deal.
