Brighton Snubs Napoli’s £8M Offer for Gilmour.

Brighton has rejected an £8m offer from Napoli for Scottish midfielder Billy Gilmour.

Sources indicate that Napoli's £8m bid for Billy Gilmour was just an initial offer, suggesting they might try again.

Gilmour is currently in Japan with Brighton for a two-match tour, facing Kashima Antlers on July 24 and Tokyo Verdy on July 28. This tour aims to boost the club's popularity, especially with Japanese star Kaoru Mitoma.

Last season, Gilmour started 24 Premier League games and appeared in 41 matches across all competitions. He joined Brighton in 2022 for £7.5m and has two years left on his contract.

Napoli, managed by former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, finished 10th last season after winning the Serie A title in 2023.
