Brighton's stance on Diego Gomez revealed after clause agreed

Brighton relaxed about Gomez's future after tying him to a new long-term deal until 2031 with an extension clause, despite interest from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.

Brighton have dismissed concerns about losing Diego Gomez despite recent interest from top European clubs. The Paraguayan midfielder signed a new long-term contract in August that keeps him at the Amex Stadium until summer 2031, with an additional one-year extension clause built in. Manager Fabian Hurzeler and the club are "relaxed" about the situation and fully confident in retaining their key player.

Gomez has impressed since arriving from Inter Miami in January 2025, scoring 10 goals in his debut campaign and establishing himself as a regular starter this season. He has featured in all eight of Brighton's Premier League games so far and recently scored a memorable goal from the halfway line in the club's victory over Crystal Palace. His performances have attracted attention from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan, but Brighton are not concerned about losing him and will not be forced into a sale.
