Brighton are known for flashing out the best talents and providing the optimal development opportunities in the Premier League. Every single transfer window, Brighton sells players with huge profits, after they have delivered sporting results for the club. Now the club from the English seaside resort has found the next big one in Brazil, submitted a solid bid – but had the bid rejected. The Club World Cup is ruining the Premier League club’s drive.

There was nothing to say about the €25 million bid, but Palmeiras’ super talent Vitor Reis will not be let go. One of Brazil’s biggest defensive talents has been linked with Real Madrid and Arsenal, Brighton wanted to push for a signing before the giants could buzz around, but according to Brazilian ESPN, the bid of around €25 million was rejected.

With the new extended Club World Cup, Palmereiras has decided categorically to reject all bids before the World Cup is played this summer.

This means that Brighton lose their advantage of acting quickly.
