According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, a transfer information expert, Inter Miami Club, chaired and co-owned by David Beckham, has agreed to sell star Diego Gomez to Brighton for a fee of 12.8 million USD.

Diego Gomez, 21, joined David Beckham ‘s Inter Miami in July 2023 for a reported fee of just $3 million. To date, the Paraguayan has played a total of 17 matches, scoring four goals and providing four assists, with the first goal scored by his senior Suarez in a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake at the start of the 2024 MLS season.

Thanks to his creativity and youth, Diego Gomez has caught the attention of Premier League club Brighton since the beginning of this year.

This is a team that always creates a launching pad for young, little-known stars to become famous, before transferring them to rich clubs at very high prices. Brighton’s deals of buying cheap and selling at extremely high prices include midfielder Mac Allister (Argentina) bought for less than 9 million USD, but when transferred to Liverpool for nearly 45 million USD. Or Moises Caicedo (Ecuador) cost just over 5 million USD, but transferred to Chelsea for up to nearly 130 million USD…

Therefore, Brighton has high expectations for Diego Gomez’s potential, when they convinced Inter Miami to release this Paraguayan player with a fee just agreed upon up to 12.8 million USD. This is a “huge” profit for Mr. David Beckham’s team, when it is said that they only spent 3 million USD to recruit this player from Libertad Club (Paraguay).

The case of Diego Gomez moving to the Premier League to play for Brighton Club from the 2024-2025 season is also the first case where David Beckham’s investment in buying and selling players has generated huge profits. Thereby, helping Inter Miami have revenue to reinvest in terms of personnel.

Another young player from Inter Miami who is attracting interest from Premier League clubs is 19-year-old American striker Benjamin Cremaschi. Cremaschi is playing for the US team at the 2024 Olympics, similar to Diego Gomez with Paraguay.

In the immediate future, right after the 2024 Olympics, Diego Gomez will aim to play for Brighton in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Cremaschi has not yet decided whether or not to transfer.

In another development, Inter Miami FC is negotiating a contract extension with veteran striker Suarez, with a term extending to December 2025. Suarez’s contract with Inter Miami is only for the 2024 season. However, after integrating extremely well and still being a very good partner with his close friend Messi, Suarez has now scored 15 goals and has 7 assists, and is immediately being promoted by Mr. David Beckham’s team to extend his contract.
