Ansu Fati has finally opted for leave Barcelona. The Spanish attacker, just 48 hours before the market closes in Europe, has chosen to look for minutes away from the Barça team and meet again with a version that excited stratospheric levels, not only the Catalan club, but all of Spanish football.
His new team will be Brighton & Hove Albiona destination that surprises at first (some of his suitors were teams like Tottenham, that was in the ‘pole’) but that has been the decision of Ansu and his family, convinced of being able to resurface under the command of Robert DeZerbi.
The Italian’s call was key for the Spanish international to opt for the ranked sixth in the Premier League last season. A club that will link its seventh campaign followed in the highest category and that in recent times has served as catapult for various runs which we review below.
moises caicedo
The Ecuadorian case is probably the clearest of all. He signed in the winter market for the 2020-21 season in exchange for 4.5 million of euros from Valley Independent with scarcely 18 years. He had shone in the Liberadores, but just six months later he left on loan to the Beerschot Belgian. Of course, the loan lasted only until January.

Already in the 2022-23Caicedo ended up exploding from the hand of Robert of Zerbi, which made him a key player in the midfield. She finished the season with 43 games played, being one of the revelations of the course in the Premier League. An irruption that, together with the great taste in the mouth that she left in the World Cup in Qatar, has helped her sign for the Chelsea this summer in exchange for 125 million euros.
Alexis Mac Allister
The Argentine player landed in the Brighton in January 2019 from Argentine Juniors in exchange for 8 million euros. At barely 20 years old, the midfielder ended up being loaned out to Boca Juniors that same summer due to some problems with the work permit to be able to play in England.

The following two campaigns were those of his consecration both in Brighton and in the Argentina team, where he was a key piece for the achievement of the World Cup in Doha. This summer, Klopp set his eyes on him and signed him for the Liverpool in exchange of 42 million euros.
Marc Cucurella
The Spanish full-back, a FC Barcelona youth squad player, began to shine away from the Barça team. Eibar he enjoyed a season, but it was his three years in Getafe those who led Brighton to take over their services in the summer of 2021upon payment of 18 million euros.
It was only one season (in which he played all 38 Premier League games), but Cucurella left his mark. The fans chose him MVP of a course in which the team finished ninth in the table. And it is that his performance caught the attention of the Big Six -Guardiola wanted him for the City-, taking the cat to the water the Chelseawhich disbursed 65 ‘kilos’. Now, after the revolution of the blue set, it is close to going on loan to Manchester United.

Another Spaniard in the ‘Brighton equation’. Robert Sánchez, Spanish international goalkeeper who recently signed for Chelsea for 23 million euros. The Cartagena footballer came to the club in 2020 from Rochdale, with whom he ended his contract.

Ben White
The English defender arrived at Brighton with just 16 years, debuting with the first team in the 2016-17 season. Since then he had three assignments (Newport, Peterborough y Leeds United), being the 2019-20 campaign that of his great irruption under the orders of Marcelo Bielsa.

That allowed him to gain a place in the first team of the Brighton In the season 2020-21, shining in the highest category of English football and making his debut with the senior team. In it summer of 2021, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenalwhere he is currently a key player, signed him for 58 million euros.
Yves Bissouma
Another example of a catapult career is that of Yves Bissouma. The Ivorian-born midfielder arrived in Brighton in 2018 in exchange of 15 million euros from Lille, when I was 22 years old. He was a member of the club for four seasons before making the leap to Tottenham.
To the Spurs arrived last summer thanks to a transfer that amounted to 30 million euros, twice the price paid four years ago. The fateful season for the London club and his ankle injury prevented him from continuing, although the 2023-24 He has started it as the indisputable owner under the orders of Postecoglou.
