Even though Minteh did not leave the club, Brighton<\/a> still raised significant funds through player sales in the window, including Carlos Baleba’s \u00a370m move to Manchester United<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After generating those funds, Brighton<\/a> completed a deadline move for Spanish defensive midfielder Chema Andres from Stuttgart in a deal worth \u00a315.5m.<\/p>\n

Andres made 41 appearances for Stuttgart last season after joining from Real Madrid in 2025.<\/p>\n

He came through Real’s youth set-up and made his La Liga debut in January 2025, before helping Stuttgart qualify for the Champions League in his one season at the club.<\/p>\n

After securing the 21-year-old’s signature, Hurzeler said he “understands” why the Spaniard has been dubbed ‘baby Rodri’.<\/p>\n

“He has this motivation of wanting to improve every day,” said Hurzeler.<\/p>\n

“He comes on the first day and wants to go outside on the pitch, he wants to have ball touches and you can really feel that he is very ambitious…<\/p>\n

“Therefore, I can understand this comparison [with Rodri] but he has a long way to go and hopefully he can get there one day. It would be a big one for us but also for the whole football world.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Even though Minteh did not leave the club, Brighton still raised significant funds through player sales in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":879645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-879644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=879644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/879645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=879644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=879644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=879644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
