Brighton Still Eyeing El Mala, Aim to Cut Köln Price

Brighton & Hove Albion have expressed continued interest in 1. FC Köln’s 19‑year‑old Said El Mala, but the club is unwilling to match the German side’s €50 million asking price. The Seagulls are hoping the fee will drop over the summer while Chelsea reportedly considers outbidding Brighton and potentially loaning the player back to Köln. sport-ipl.my
