Brighton & Hove Albion and Inter Miami have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of Diego Gomez, with the Premier League club set to finalize a deal to bring the talented midfielder on board.

Gomez, who has impressed during his time with Inter Miami in MLS, is poised to make a move to Brighton for a reported fee of $18m, making it a record deal for the Florida-based team. Despite missing some action due to injury, Gomez showcased his skills by scoring four goals and providing four assists this season, attracting interest from clubs like West Ham.

The plan is for Gomez to stay with Inter Miami until the end of the current season before officially joining Brighton in 2025. This transition period is expected to allow Gomez to complete his commitments with Miami and potentially add some silverware to his collection, including the MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield.

As Gomez gears up for his new chapter in England, he will look to leave a lasting impact at Inter Miami by helping the team secure trophies in the remainder of 2024. With the midfielder eager to end his spell with the Herons on a high note, winning the MLS Cup would be a fitting conclusion to his time in the United States before embarking on his English adventure.
