Brighton are reluctantly poised to allow Pascal Gross to join Borussia Dortmund after agreeing a deal worth an initial £5.9m (€7m) for the Germany midfielder. Gross, one of Brighton’s longest-serving players having joined in 2017 when they were promoted to the Premier League, has less than 12 months on his contract and was offered a new deal.
Despite Brighton’s appointment of his compatriot Fabian Hürzeler to replace Roberto De Zerbi as manager, Gross is believed to have been keen to return to Germany having received his first senior call-up last year and been part of the squad at Euro 2024.
