Danny Welbeck responded to Chelsea in a £135k week wage – the Seagulls are not confident now

Danny Welbeck’s future at Brighton & Hove Albion has taken a dramatic turn after reports emerged that Chelsea have submitted an offer worth £135,000 per week to lure the experienced English forward back to Stamford Bridge. Welbeck is understood to have responded positively to Chelsea’s proposal, fueling growing speculation that his time with the Seagulls could soon come to an end. Brighton are increasingly concerned that they may struggle to convince the veteran striker to remain at the Amex Stadium, also known as the Falmer Stadium, as negotiations continue. The potential departure would represent a significant blow for Fabian Hürzeler’s squad, with Welbeck providing leadership, experience, and valuable goals in recent seasons. Although no official agreement has been announced, the mood around Brighton suggests all signs are pointing toward an exit. Chelsea believe Welbeck’s experience could strengthen their attacking options, while Brighton are already assessing possible replacements should the transfer be completed.
