Brighton & Hove Albion manager Hurzeler has expressed absolute confidence that star midfielder Carlos Baleba will remain at the club, quashing swirling rumours of a potential transfer. Speaking at a press conference, Hurzeler insisted that Baleba is fully committed to the Seagulls and their upcoming campaign.
Baleba, who has impressed fans with his dynamic performances, has attracted interest from several top European clubs this summer. However, Hurzeler emphasised that Brighton’s project and ambitions make staying an exciting option for the 20-year-old midfielder. “Carlos is very happy here,” Hurzeler said. “He knows he is part of something special, and we are building something important together.”
The manager highlighted the club’s long-term strategy and recent successes as key reasons for retaining talent like Baleba. With Brighton looking to strengthen their squad further, keeping their star players is vital for maintaining competitive momentum in the Premier League. Fans will be relieved to hear that speculation surrounding Baleba’s future may be over for now.
Baleba himself has reportedly expressed satisfaction with his role at Brighton, enjoying the responsibility and trust placed upon him by Hurzeler. His development has been swift since joining the Seagulls, and staying at the club offers him the opportunity to continue growing while playing regular top-flight football.
With the transfer window still open, Brighton’s message is clear: Baleba is not for sale. Hurzeler’s public affirmation should give supporters confidence that the club is committed to keeping its key players and pushing for another strong season in the Premier League.
