Story

In October 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion confirmed the acquisition of midfielder Diego Gomez from Inter Miami, marking a significant move in the Premier League. The transfer fee was reported to be £11 million, positioning it among the most expensive outgoing transfers in Major League Soccer (MLS) history. Gomez, who is 21 years old, had a successful tenure with Miami, making 28 appearances in the 2024 season despite suffering an ankle injury at times. His move to Brighton will officially take effect on January 1, 2025, coinciding with the opening of the transfer window. Gomez's transition is expected after Miami's playoff campaign ended with a defeat to Atlanta United, allowing him to prepare for competitive play in the Premier League.
