[Albion] Deniz Undav **Gone To Stuttgart 09/08/24**

[Hiheidi]

I might be on my own, but he's getting on my nerves!!

He was playing in the regional leagues when USG signed him. With the Brighton contract he got good money, the chance to play in the PL, where the coaching team had to work hard to improve him, which led to recognition from Germany. We actually needed him this season, but let him go to Germany - and now when we really need him back, he's made it clear he'd rather stay where he is! If they want him, he'll have to persuade them to pay full whack.

Brighton in talks with Gross over contract extension

Brighton are planning for Gross’s Germany squad team-mate Deniz Undav to be back with them next season. The 27-year-old striker forced his way into Nagelsmann’s plans with 18 goals and ten assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances on loan to Stuttgart last season which helped them qualify for the Champions League. Undav has two years left on his contract at Brighton. They control a buy option which was included in the loan agreement with Stuttgart.

Nothing there about what Deniz himself wants/plans to do...which is probably key.

True, but for all we know he wasn't a fan of RDZ so would be more open to coming back now he's gone.

 

[Mancgull]

Of the two, getting Pascal to stay is more important, but if we can get Deniz back as well that would be good.

Well. We don't know that do we.

I really doubt Gross is discussing anything until after the euro’s.

 

[kelvinnewman]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the type of very particular coaching Pedro was “discussing” in the recent interview was the sort of thing that bothered Deniz, he strikes me as much more of an instinctive player (same for Fergie tbh)

Secret negotiations So secret it’s being discussed on Twitter.

I would have liked Deniz back here, but €20-22m is decent money for him.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Dissapointing if so.

 

[Flounce]

Squeeze them for every Euro Tony. He is a Brighton player and he is also pissing me off wanting to leave with two years left on his contract.

 

[Driver8]

Clearly not that secret .

 

[Merlin57]

He’s not coming back, cash in, move on, end of..

I'm always seeing people reposting tweets from that account on here, but I'm not sure that I've ever seen anything to suggest it's not just guesswork. Genuine question - Has it broken any news in the past that turned out to be right?

Sport Bild? Because that's the source being cited, it's not Owen's own scoop.

 

[Surf's Up]

Maybe put in a cheeky player exchange + cash for Stuttgart highly rated forward Silas Katompa (Fulham currently interested in Katompa at £15m apparently)

If you look at Sports Bild and Sports Witness neither appear to have a direct tweet that mentions the story this bloke is posting about. I find that with a lot of what he posts, you never find the actual source material, just a named source.

Do we? Not sure I know/knew that, when did he say this?

 

[Stato]

Sport Bild? Because that's the source being cited, it's not Owen's own scoop.

It's actually quoting this Sport Witness article that cites Sports Bild as a source: https://sportwitness.co.uk/secret-negotiations-brighton-way-sell-seagulls-player-e20-22m/

However Sport Witness's link just goes to Bild's website and there doesn't seem to be any article about Undav on there since this at the beginning of April: https://sportbild.bild.de/bundeslig...rmer-deniz-undav-wirklich-87737798.sport.html

So it's a regurgitated story from an unnamed article/tweet from Germany's equivalent of The Sun.

The Sport Witness article just says that Stuttgart can't afford him even with their ECL money and so want to come to the UK to try to negotiate. It doesn't even say that we've agreed to meet them, let alone that we are having 'secret negotiations.'
