Brighton’s options for the remaining summer transfer window are forecast by Football Manager 2024.
As Brighton & Hove Albion finalize their preparations for their inaugural season under new head coach Fabian Hurzeler, it’s another fresh start.

The former St. Pauli manager was appointed Roberto Di Zerbi’s successor earlier this summer, and he hasn’t spent any time in making adjustments to the team the Italian left behind. Ibrahim Osman, a young player from Nordsjaelland, Feyenoord midfielder Mats Wieffer, and Newcastle United winger Yankuba Minteh are the new additions. Midfielders Pascal Gross and Adam Lallana have left the team to pursue new opportunities.

Hurzeler’s team is probably going to be expanded with less than three weeks left in the transfer window as the German coach hopes to build on a successful debut season leading the Seagulls. We launched Football Manager 2024 to see what incomings and outgoings the most popular managerial simulation in the world predicts would happen at the Amex Stadium in order to get an idea of how the rest of the window might unfold.

Goalkeepers
For the Seagulls goalkeeping unit, it was one in, one out. First, Bart Verbruggen was let go in the last week of the transfer season after receiving a £12 million offer from Al-Etiffaq, a Saudi Pro League team. However, the real lure may have been an offer of an eye-watering £150,000 per week in salary. After spending £4 million to acquire Lyon’s Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri, the Seagulls acted swiftly to locate a successor.
