Brighton & Hove Albion reportedly want at least €40 million to sell highly-rated Paraguayan attacker Julio Enciso, with Chelsea interested.
According to Fichajes, Brighton & Hove Albion will demand at least €40 million for Julio Enciso, with Chelsea showing an interest in the Paraguayan attacker. The 20-year-old has shown the ability to adapt to one of the toughest leagues, which raises the bar on his potential, and the Seagulls could profit from yet another strategic sale.

Brighton & Hove Albion could make yet another strategic sale, with Julio Enciso attracting interest from the likes of Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge outfit had watched the Paraguayan at the Copa America, where he had a good enough campaign. Hence, when he returns to action on the English shores, there might be a transfer waiting to happen.
Brighton & Hove Albion have garnered a reputation for identifying top young talents from various parts of the world and then selling them for massive profits. Such has been their strategy in doing business over the years, which has benefited the Seagulls massively.
In Enciso’s case, the Premier League club are demanding at least €40 million to sell the 20-year-old highly-rated attacker, especially now that Chelsea are keen. The versatile forward’s ability to play in various frontline positions does make him an interesting option not only for the Blues but for others.
Brighton want €40 million, which will be a good profit on their investment of slightly over €11 million on Julio Enciso two years ago. The youngster has shown plenty of promise in adapting to a difficult league like the Premier League, which is why the Seagulls are demanding as much, with the player now likely to mull over his immediate future if Chelsea’s interest is genuine.
Chelsea looking for a new attacker
Chelsea are still exploring the market for a new attacker, ideally a left-winger, but could make do with someone of Enciso’s quality who can play in multiple positions. The 20-year-old is certainly not their priority, as Nico Williams might be their preferred target, although there are many complications in completing that deal, especially considering the player wants Barcelona.
They also have Crysencio Summerville on their list, who does have plenty of other Premier League suitors chasing his signature. All of those stars are likely to cost a handful, meaning that Brighton’s price point for Julio Enciso might give Chelsea some food for thought and even make them consider the player, especially if other options fade away.
