Brighton transfer news: Player set to seal loan exit, Midfielder says goodbye to current club

Albion are just two points outside of the relegation zone having played two games more than 18th-placed Fulham, and the prospect of a looming battle for survival is an all-too-real possibility right now.

To their credit, the Seagulls appear to have attacked this window with plenty of gusto, and that includes their intent to seal some outgoings too.

One man who looks destined for the exit is Bernardo.

The Brazilian has really struggled for game time this season, and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, could be in line for a loan move to RB Salzburg in Austria.

In truth, a transfer would probably make sense for player and club.

Solly March has done a fine job on the left flank this season, and while the South American did get the nod against Manchester City in midweek, it was just his third appearances in the Premier League this season.

It’s hard to see him forcing his way into his manager’s plans any time soon either.

As per Wyscout, Bernardo’s dribble success rate is 14.8% lower than March’s, he averages 1.91 fewer crosses per game, and makes 0.61 fewer interceptions.

With Dan Burn capable of filling in at left-back too, Potter isn’t exactly short on covering options, and move to Austria could prove to be a welcome escape for a stagnating Bernardo.
