According to 'Bild', a transfer for Mio Backhaus is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. The 'Bild' report states that a significant lead points to the Premier League, with Brighton & Hove Albion being one of the clubs most interested in Backhaus. 'Sky' names a possible transfer fee of 20 million euros. Backhaus is expected to intensify talks with interested clubs in the coming days and seek a quick conclusion.

Brighton have been monitoring Mio Backhaus for some time as part of their strategy of recruiting high-potential young players. According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, a move to the Premier League is of significant interest to Backhaus. Sources estimate his value to be around €20million (£17.4m / $23.5m), and state that a competition for his signature could significantly increase that amount. It is expected that Bremen will demand a high fee for the homegrown player, who has developed since he returned from a loan spell at FC Volendam last season. Sources have confirmed that Bremen hold a favorable negotiating position but are willing to consider a large offer for Backhaus.

Brighton & Hove Albion has shown interest in signing Mio Backhaus from SV Werder Bremen. The 20-year-old goalkeeper, who is also being eyed by FC Barcelona, would initially be considered for a challenger role at the club. Backhaus, currently a German U20 national player, is primarily on the bench at Bremen, where Michael Zetterer is the first choice goalkeeper. This situation has left Backhaus open to exploring opportunities elsewhere.
