Brighton achieved a Premier League record profit of £122.8 million after tax in the last season fueled by their highest-ever league finish and significant player sales. Despite the departure of manager Graham Potter to Chelsea and player transfers like Yves Bissouma to Tottenham and Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool, Brighton revenue soared to £204.5 million.

The club’s success on the pitch and in player sales contributed to reducing the interest-free loan owed to owner Tony Bloom. Brighton CEO Paul Barber signed a new contract until 2030, emphasizing the club’s aim to become more self-sustainable. While there are rumors linking current manager Roberto De Zerbi to Liverpool and Bayern Munich, Brighton remains focused on returning to Europe and winning their first major trophy.

Currently sitting ninth in the Premier League, Brighton aims to continue their impressive performance in the remaining nine games of the season.
