Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly facing significant interest from Liverpool and Manchester City for their promising young winger, Facundo Buonanotte. The 19-year-old, currently on loan at Leicester City, has been making waves in the Championship, scoring three goals in eight appearances this season. His impressive performances have led to speculation about his future, with a potential transfer value now estimated between £25 million and £30 million.
Buonanotte joined Brighton from Rosario Central in January 2023 for around £5.3 million and has quickly become a standout talent. He has also recently received a call-up to the Argentina national team, further highlighting his rising stock. Leicester’s manager, Steve Cooper, praised Buonanotte’s talent and work ethic, noting his aggression and ability to impact both offensively and defensively.
As Brighton’s new head coach, Fabian Hurzeler aims to build on the club’s strong start to the season, currently placing them fifth in the Premier League. With the club’s impressive scouting network, they are keen to retain Buonanotte and potentially nurture him into one of their next big stars. However, with clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City monitoring his development, Brighton may face a tough battle to keep hold of him amid the escalating interest.
