Brighton Makes Bid for Strasbourg Midfielder Habib Diarra

Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion has reportedly made a verbal offer of €23 million for RC Strasbourg Alsace’s talented midfielder Habib Diarra. The 21-year-old Senegalese player has been a crucial part of Strasbourg’s lineup, serving as team captain and making 19 appearances across all competitions this season. During these matches, Diarra has scored four goals and provided two assists.

Diarra’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several clubs expressing interest in the young midfielder. Italian giants AC Milan are among the teams keeping tabs on Diarra, while other unnamed Premier League sides have also shown interest.

Brighton’s bid demonstrates their serious intent to acquire Diarra’s services. However, Strasbourg, recognizing Diarra’s importance to their team, are reportedly holding out for a higher offer. The French club considers Diarra a key player in their long-term plans and is reluctant to let him go without significant compensation.

As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Brighton will increase their offer or if other clubs will join the race for Diarra’s signature. The situation highlights the growing interest in young talent from Ligue 1 and the willingness of Premier League clubs to invest in promising players from the French league.
