Ferguson's profile is in line with Chelsea's approach to the transfer market, which is primarily focused on young people. However, the Seagulls are opposed to the departure of Ferguson, who recently signed a new contract until 2029 and could be worth more than £100 million.
It is worth reminding you that Chelsea has acquired several players and a coach from Brighton over the past two seasons. "The Blues paid £63 million for left-back Marc Cucurella, £25 million for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, £115 million for Moises Caicedo and £21.5 million for Graham Potter, which is a record amount for a coaching transfer.
