Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed “talks” over a departure for Julio Enciso.
But he told a press conference on Thursday that nothing has been done yet.
The Paraguay international is expected to sign for BlueCo company who own Chelsea and Strasbourg.
Hurzeler told his press conference today: “There are some rumours, there are some talks but nothing is done yet so we can’t comment on that.”
The Seagulls boss spoke positively about Enciso.
He said: “He is a young guy with big potential.
“He showed it I think during his time so far in Brighton.
“He showed it also when he played for the national team.
“Of course, there were also some moments when he had setbacks with his injuries.
“But he is a young kid who wants to play football. You really can feel the passion.
“Overall is very nice to work with him.
“I wouldn’t say it didn’t work. Some players perform better in some environments.
“Some players struggle with some cultural things.
“But overall I wouldn’t say it was a bad time if he were to leave.
“He is still a very young player with big potential.
“If big clubs are interested in him, I would say he didn’t play well or have a good time here in Brighton.
“You can see there is a big interest in him because he has big potential, because he showed great stuff for us
“Overall there are some things that for sure could be better regarding the environment, regarding the culture things.
“But I think it wasn’t a bad period so far.”
