Overview
- Reports published Friday say Brighton have set a valuation of about £50m for Maxim De Cuyper and do not intend to sell him in the January window.
- Several top clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal, AC Milan, PSG and Roma, are monitoring De Cuyper but those checks remain at an early, exploratory stage with no formal bids or agent talks reported.
- De Cuyper is under contract until June 2030, a factor that gives Brighton strong bargaining power and reduces pressure to accept a mid-season offer while the club chase domestic and European targets.
- Coverage highlights his breakout role under Fabian Hurzeler and strong attacking returns this season, with outlets citing either five goal contributions from 10 Premier League games or four goals and four assists from 16 appearances across competitions.
- The practical effect of Brighton’s position is to shift any serious transfer negotiation to the summer and raise the cost for suitors, which could shape squad planning at clubs like Liverpool if they decide to pursue a left-sided signing.
