Martino hopeful Gomez can remain with Inter Miami until the end of the year
Speaking to the press after last night’s win against the Chicago Fire, Martino confirmed that Gomez’s move to Brighton is a question of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’, with the Inter Miami boss hopeful that the youngster can remain with the Herons until the end of the year.
Indeed, Gomez’s move to Brighton could be made official as early as next week, and Martino was accepting that the deal will be going through it what will be a landmark transfer for the Herons.
Martino said when asked about Gomez’s pending move to Brighton later this summer: “It is more than just interest from Brighton in Diego, and sooner or later this was going to happen.
“In a year and a half with us he has demonstrated his quality. We’d love to keep him until the end of the year, but we don’t know when he will go. I think that particular Premier League club would be a good place for him.”
Brighton have landed one impressive talent in Gomez
Gomez has shown this year on multiple occasions why he is regarded as one of the best talents in MLS, and Brighton will be fully aware of just how good a player Gomez is ahead of his move to the English south coast.
