Brighton's Swedish international Yasin Ayari had wanted to leave the team, but a transfer was not completed. After Brighton purchased Chema Andres for the midfield, Ayari's name was linked with both Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. The 22-year-old midfielder has one year remaining on his contract and has few teams he could potentially join as the transfer window in Europe has closed. The Swedish international has 25 caps and 5 goals for his country. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €40.00m. In January 2026, a reported offer of £20 million from Nottingham Forest was said to have been rejected by Brighton, while in March 2025, the club had reportedly set a potential asking price of €24 million.
