Borussia Dortmund Signs Pascal Gross from Brighton

Girona has faced significant player losses this summer, including the sales of Aleix Garcia and Artem Dovbyk, as well as the departure of key loanees. Notably, they could not re-sign Yan Couto due to UEFA regulations, as he has joined Borussia Dortmund for €25 million. Dortmund also announced the signing of Pascal Gross from Brighton for a fee reported to be up to €10 million, marking a reunion for the midfielder with his boyhood club. Gross, who has been hailed as Brighton's greatest-ever Premier League signing, leaves after a successful seven-year stint where he became the club's all-time top scorer in the league. His transition to Dortmund is seen as a significant step in his career, reflecting his desire to play at a top German club. Both clubs expressed mutual respect and understanding regarding these transfers, highlighting the impact of Gross's departure on Brighton.
