Stuttgart's qualification for the Champions League now confirmed which makes it even more unlikely that Undav will play for Brighton next season.
Bit part Brighton player to German international and CL qualifier is some turn around.

I presume the price is in the loan contract.
It's been heavily commented that the option to buy in the contract was related to how well Undav and Stuttgart did in this season.

As such we'll be getting pretty heavily compensated for his departure if Stuttgart trigger the option.

I guess so, can’t remember what it was but there has been a constant stream of posts over the season doubting Stuttgart have the money required :shrug:
The CL is a good payer so they will have some extra euros now.

He was bit part for a reason. A reason that diminished by 90% when he was able to move closer to family.

There were moments towards the end of last season when it was clear what he offers.

To be fair he wasn't a bit part player towards the end of the season.

He was starting most games and performing too.
Fair comment.

I know there were some personal reasons which affected things. My point was not questioning his ability, more the fact that things were not going well for him both on and off the pitch but now he’s flying and seemingly happy. I like the guy and am pleased for him.

And CL football and impressive goal and assist return equals filthy lucre for us
Not as much as it could be though.

Apparently they have an option to buy related to how well he and them perform.

With CL football we're looking at maybe £20m based on earlier reports.

Latest article I saw said it was a performance based fee, and at the time it had reached €20m, but that was a few goals ago and before champs league qualification so could be more now.

I’m sure it will be.

For perspective, Stuttgart not triggering this clause on Undav would be like Villa not triggering a clause on Watkins. Very similar stats albeit different leagues but still (probably) achieving Champions League football.

Personally I think they will stump up the cash. They’d be silly not to. I would have liked to see him back with us, but 20m extra in the transfer budget will be handy

I would think it very unlikely anybody on here knows what is in his contract. Appreciate attraction to play in CL but he is under contract to us and lets hope we can hold him to this. He would be a lot happier here if he played a lot and lets face a flight back home is only a couple of hours.

Also, it will be quite amazing to add a couple of Euro 2024 winners medals to our WC and AFCON gongs.
