- Brighton fan favourite attracting major Premier League interest
- Newcastle and Everton among clubs monitoring free transfer move
- Long-serving Seagulls star set for emotional summer exit
Brighton appear set to part ways with one of the most familiar faces of their modern era after Solly March agreed to leave the club this summer with interest mounting from across the Premier League.
The 31-year-old winger is expected to end his long association with the Seagulls following talks between the club and his representatives. Brighton held the option to extend March’s contract for another year but an agreement has now been reached that will allow him to move on as a free agent.
March leaves behind a remarkable legacy at the Amex Stadium after making more than 300 appearances during a period that saw Brighton rise from Championship hopefuls to European contenders.
Brighton preparing for emotional summer departure
For Brighton supporters the news will carry an emotional edge. March has been one of the defining players of the club’s recent transformation and his journey from academy prospect to Premier League regular mirrored the rise of the club itself.
Over the years he developed into one of the most reliable and versatile players in the squad with his technical quality and cultured left foot making him a trusted figure under several managers.
March faced fitness concerns following knee surgery but he has now fully recovered and looks ready for a fresh challenge away from the south coast.
