Brighton & Hove Albion have knocked back a improved second offer worth around £7 million to £7.5 million from Rangers for 21-year-old winger Amario Cozier-Duberry.
Rangers have made securing wide attacking talent a priority following an ACL injury to striker Youssef Chermiti. However, Brighton continue to hold firm on their valuation as head coach Fabian Hürzeler considers keeping the youngster in his first-team plans.
Key Context & Market Situation
- Rangers’ Pursuit: The Scottish Premiership side initially monitored Cozier-Duberry alongside earlier targets like Couhaib Driouech before submitting testing offers to Brighton.
- Competing Suitors: Rangers are not alone in their interest; Anderlecht previously saw a £5 million bid rejected, while West Ham United and several Championship clubs are actively tracking developments.
- Brighton’s Stance:Following a productive loan spell with Bolton Wanderers, Brighton are preparing a contract extension proposal and weighing whether to retain him for squad depth or sanction another loan.
