A report by The Athletic claims talks were held over a package worth around £5million after the winger’s impressive loan spell at the Toughsheet Stadium.
However, the approach was rejected with Brighton viewing Cozier-Duberry as part of their first team plans. He could even sign a new contract at the Amex Stadium.
The report also claims Augsburg, Paris FC and Rangers are keen on the 21-year-old. Previously, West Ham were linked with a potential move.
Cozier-Duberry enjoyed a dream spell at Bolton as the club sealed promotion back to the Championship, chipping in with eight goals and 10 assists in the league.
He also had a spell on loan at Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers in 2024/25 but struggled to nail down a place in the side due to injury and a change of manager.
Earlier this month, Steven Schumacher confirmed the winger would be training with Brighton in pre-season.
“I spoke to Amario a couple of weeks ago and his plan is to go back into Brighton and start pre-season with them, so I hope he goes and does really well,” he said.
“I just said to him, play with the same energy and enthusiasm that he did with us every single day, and try to impress the manager. He impressed us from day one, and I’m sure if he does that… he’s infectious.
“I hope he gets an opportunity at Brighton, I’m sure he’ll play the pre-season games there. I don’t know exactly what their World Cup personnel are, who is and isn’t there, but let’s hope he gets an opportunity.”
Schumacher didn’t completely rule out a return for any of last season’s loan players. Since then, Marcus Forss travelled with the squad in Slovakia.
Forss spent last term on loan from Middlesbrough until his campaign was cut short by a hamstring injury. The forward is now a free agent after his deal at the Riverside Stadium expired.
