Overview
- Both clubs confirmed the immediate transfer on Friday, with Groß returning to the Premier League on a contract running until June 2027.
- The financial terms were not disclosed, but multiple outlets report a fee of up to about €3 million including bonuses.
- Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said Groß asked to leave to secure more minutes, having started only seven Bundesliga matches and not featured in the Champions League this season.
- Groß did not travel to BVB’s training camp in Marbella as talks concluded, and he departs roughly six months before his Dortmund deal was set to expire.
- The midfielder rejoins Brighton, where he played from 2017 to 2024 and broke into the national team, hoping regular action can bolster his World Cup prospects this summer.
