Brighton are in talks with James Milner over a new contract, but it is unclear whether he will remain at the club as a player, coach or in a dual role.
Talks are ongoing between Brighton and Milner’s representatives over his future, and despite the 39-year-old struggling for form this season,
Brighton are keen to lend Milner’s experience and versatility to the club, although it is unclear whether he will remain a player, a coach or a player-coach. One of the most vocal figures on and off the pitch,
he joined Brighton in 2023 after eight years at Liverpool, making 20 appearances in the first half of the campaign before picking up an injury in the second half of the campaign.
He signed a new contract in May last year and has started every game of the season, สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน but a knock in the draw at Arsenal in August has ruled him out for a long time.
Milner has now played 637 Premier League games and is just 16 games away from equalling Gareth Barry’s tally of 653. Milner has
also played for the likes of Leeds United, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Manchester City in the Premier League during his 23-year career and is keen to continue playing into his 40s.
Brighton are battling Brentford and Bournemouth for a top-eight finish, which could be good enough for European football.
