Brighton midfielder Facundo Buonanotte has emerged as a hot target this summer, with Borussia Dortmund and Olympique Lyonnais both in active negotiations to sign the Argentine talent.
Sources confirm Dortmund have stepped up their interest after finding complications in their pursuit of Chelsea’s Carney Chukwuemeka. The Bundesliga side now sees Buonanotte as a strong alternative and have opened direct talks with Brighton.
Meanwhile, Lyon are also making moves behind the scenes, hoping to gain Brighton’s approval and secure the highly-rated 19-year-old.
The race is now on between two of Europe’s biggest talent-developing clubs, and Brighton could be set for a decision in the coming days as interest intensifies.
