Dutch club PSV Eindhoven holds firm against Premier League outfit Brighton’s advances for defender Oliver Boscagli, rejecting negotiations for the player’s transfer.

Brighton’s interest in the French defender, with an eye on securing him for €10 million for the Amex stadium, has been met with resistance from the Eredivisie side. Despite Boscagli’s declining a contract extension from the Dutch champions and his expressed desire to move to the Premier League permanently, PSV remains steadfast in their stance to keep him, even though only a year remains on his current contract.

While Brighton is keen on bolstering their squad following a strong start in the Premier League, including substantial spending on new players this summer, their plans were hit by the setback of new signing Matt O’Riley’s serious ankle injury during his debut against Crawley Town. Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed the necessity of surgery for O’Riley’s injury, with uncertainty around his recovery timeline.

Hurzeler expressed his support for the injured player and the team’s commitment to his rehabilitation process, aiming for a swift return to action. As Brighton faces Arsenal in an upcoming Premier League fixture, Hurzeler maintains a positive outlook, acknowledging the opponent’s strength while emphasizing his team’s intentions to compete victoriously.

Brighton fans eagerly anticipate the impact of their new signings in the team’s pursuit of success this season, eyeing a potential push for a European spot in the near future.
