Brighton are again being dragged into transfer speculation in Paraguay, this time with a far stronger claim. Local outlet Versus reports that Diego Gómez will join one of England’s so-called Big Six clubs after the World Cup.
Versus attributes the information to journalist Chris Pérez. According to the report, meetings are scheduled for March with one of the interested sides. We still don’t know any names, but the suggestion is that groundwork will begin soon, even if a deal would only materialise after the tournament.
The timing of the claim is notable. Gómez has been playing very well for Brighton in recent weeks. He scored a stunning goal last weekend, further boosting his visibility. As a result, his name continues to gain traction both in England and back home.
However, there is still no public confirmation from the Brighton player’s camp regarding formal negotiations.
March meetings mentioned
Pérez’s update introduces something previous comments did not: a timeline. Earlier this year, agent Renato Bittar insisted there was “nothing firm” and said it was “not the moment” to create more noise. Now, Paraguayan media speak openly about March meetings.
That does not automatically mean an agreement is close. Still, it signals that interest may be moving beyond casual monitoring. In the Premier League, once conversations reach the meeting stage, scenarios can evolve quickly.
Brighton, of course, are no strangers to this cycle.
Where this leaves Brighton
Brighton operates with a clear model. They develop players, maximise performance levels and sell at the right price. Because of that structure, standout displays tend to trigger speculation.
For now, Gómez remains a Brighton player who is performing at a high level. His recent goal only strengthens his profile. Nevertheless, any post-World Cup move would depend on valuation, timing and the club’s own strategy.
Until something concrete emerges, the situation remains one of growing noise rather than confirmed movement. Still, in the Premier League, that is often how bigger stories begin.
