Brighton Agree Deal to Re-Sign Pascal Groß From Dortmund

The 34-year-old is set for a low-cost return viewed as short-term reinforcement pending a medical.

Overview

  • Brighton and Borussia Dortmund have agreed a permanent transfer, with Pascal Groß cleared to travel for a medical in England within 48 hours.
  • The fee is reported at just under €2 million plus up to €1 million in add-ons, with his Dortmund contract due to expire this summer.
  • Groß previously made 261 appearances for Brighton across seven seasons, contributing 32 goals and 52 assists in a variety of roles.
  • His minutes at Dortmund declined this season due to competition from Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham and Emre Can.
  • Brighton, on a six-match winless run and sitting 14th, see the reunion as a low-risk way to raise the team’s immediate level under Fabian Hurzeler.
