It was reported by Ekrem Konur that Brighton is interested in Franjo Ivanović. Franjo Ivanović has a 100 million euro release clause that decreases to 60 million euros from July 1, 2029. The player's contract with Benfica runs until 2030, and Union Saint-Gilloise is set to receive 20 percent of the profit from any future sale of Ivanović by Benfica.

There is speculation about possible renewed interest from Brighton in Franjo Ivanović, a 22-year-old Croatian centre-forward for SL Benfica. Como has also been linked with acquiring the player, who is under contract until June 2030. Reports in March 2026 mentioned a €100 million release clause in his Benfica contract, while his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €20 million.
