Brighton rejects Rangers £7.5m bid for Amario
According to Bbc.
Background
Amario Cozier-Duberry, a 21-year-old winger, has less than two years left on his contract at Brighton and has recently received significant playing time under new coach Fabian Hürzeler. His successful loan spell at Bolton, where he played a key role in their League One victory, has increased his value, with Brighton potentially asking for a higher price for a permanent transfer.
Why this matters
The rejection of Rangers' bid for Amario Cozier-Duberry highlights Brighton's confidence in the young winger, who impressed in League One last season. This could have a significant impact on Brighton's season expectations as they prepare for the challenges of the Premier League. For Rangers, this means they must continue their search for reinforcements in attack, while hoping for a permanent deal for the talented player.

Brighton & Hove Albion have rejected a £7.5million bid from Rangers for Amario Cozier-Duberry. The 21-year-old wing attacker has been on the list of the Scottish top club for some time, but the offer has been put aside by the Premier League club. The signal is clear: Brighton sees a future in the young winger for the time being or at least wants to see a higher price.
Cozier-Duberry impressed during his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers last season. In the campaign that culminated in a win in the League One play-offs, he was a key player with eight goals and twelve assists in 34 appearances. His performances also earned him a place in the League One Team of the Season. At Brighton, where he has less than two years left on his contract, he was given many minutes in the preparation under new coach Fabian Hürzeler, although he remained on the bench for the 1-0 practice win over Bologna last Saturday.
The Englishman is in the interest of several Championship clubs in his own country for a possible loan deal. Rangers are now one of the teams aiming for a permanent switch. Brighton is simultaneously exploring alternatives for the wing positions. For example, Millwall's Femi Azeez (25) is seen as a viable option at the right price, with a view to leaving the Championship club before the September 3 transfer deadline.
For Rangers, the rejected offer would have been one of the club's largest investments in more than twenty years. Last summer the club paid £8 million for Youssef Chermiti, while in the early 2000s Michael Ball and Tore André Flo came in for even higher sums. The club from Glasgow is looking for reinforcement after a difficult start to the season, although the negative series of four matches without a win was resolved this weekend.broken with a 5-1 victory over St Mirren in the Scottish Cup tournament.
However, Rangers suffered a blow in Europe: due to the two-match defeat against the Polish Jagiellonia Białystok, the club is out of the Europa League and now awaits the play-offs of the Conference League. New coach Derek McInnes, who joined from Hearts this summer, emphasized that his squad needs 'help'. Reinforcements in defense and on the wings are a priority, while Chermiti's withdrawal with a knee injury (ACL) further increases the need for attacking impetus.
What does this mean for the coming weeks? Rangers will have to weigh up whether to make an improved offer for Cozier-Duberry or move on to alternative wingers. In the meantime, Brighton remains in control: a permanent sale only seems to be an option if the price is right, while a temporary rental to a Championship club is also on the table. With the September 3 deadline in sight, the Cozier-Duberry case promises to remain one of the more interesting cases in the British transfer market.
What's happening now
Brighton are expected to continue to look for alternative options for the wing positions, with Millwall's Femi Azeez a possible candidate. Rangers, on the other hand, will have to rethink their strategy after the rejected offer and could focus on other targets in the Scottish Premiership. The September 3 transfer deadline is fast approaching, putting pressure on both clubs to strengthen their squads for the upcoming competition.
