Brighton & Hove Albion have Atlético Madrid’s Rodrigo De Paul on their transfer agenda.
The Argentina international has been made available in the market and this has seen him attract attention from Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma.
Calciomercato.it state the top Serie A sides are willing to take the midfielder in January, but only a loan deal.
Los Rojiblancos are ready to let De Paul leave through an outright sale. They would only be open to letting him go on loan if there’s an obligation to buy as part of the deal. Atlético are ready to give a discount on the €35-40m fee they requested a few weeks ago.
Even a fee of €30m is too high for the Italian clubs. Therefore, one needs to monitor the sirens coming from England for the World Cup winner very carefully. Brighton are named.
It’s claimed the idea of signing De Paul ‘teases Roberto De Zerbi a lot’. Brighton have identified him as a target, if one of Alexis Mac Allister and Moisés Caicedo were to leave The Amex in the winter market.
To sum it up, Brighton would consider De Paul if Mac Allister or Caicedo were to be sold in the current window.
