Dortmund’s Groß completes swift return to Brighton

The veteran midfielder has rejoined the Premier League club from which he left to join BVB in 2024.

Pascal Groß will rejoin his former employers Brighton & Hove Albion from Borussia Dortmund, according to Fabrizio Romano. 

A permanent transfer has been agreed with the Premier League side with a comeback imminent for the 34-year-old veteran. 

Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg is informed that the Westphalians will pocket €2million with a possible extra €1million in potential bonuses.

Groß will now travel to the south of England – his medical with the Seagulls will be conducted in next 24 to 48-hours.

On 1 August 2024, Groß originally joined Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and signed a contract until June 2026.

The midfielder went on to make a total of 66 appearances for BVB while netting a solitary goal and providing a further 17 assists. 

This season however, the German has found it difficult to force his way into Niko Kovač’s side, playing just 732 minutes in total. 

It’s believed that Groß – now firmly in the twilight of his career – wants to boost his chances of making Germany’s 2026 World Cup squad.
