Hurzeler wants loan option for Buonanotte
"We have a very transparent exchange with him," said Hurzeler to Sussex World yesterday in the pre-Manchester City press conference.
"It's so important that they have game minutes where they can improve. So we have to think about if the right club is here, or we might give him a loan where he gets more game minutes.
"I can say we're very happy that he's a Brighton player, and no matter where he will be in the next season, long-term we will see him here as a player for us because he's a great player and he's a great character and for sure long-term he will help us."
When asked if a loan is likely, Hurzeler added: "It's an option, yes."
Buonanotte joined Brighton for around £7m from Rosario Central in 2023 and his contract with Brigton runs until 2028.
Last season he had a mixed loan in the Premier League with relegated Leicester City.
Tariq Lamptey on the move

"He knows where he is,” said Hurzeler. “He knows our planning, the thoughts from the club, the thoughts from me.
"So, it's very important that the player has clarity and now it's about making a decision, what is best for him, what is best for the club.
"Of course, there's interest in the player and it's positive if there's interest in our players, because it shows that when he played last season for us he did things right.
"We are very pleased that he was part of us last season and that he helped us last season. Now it's a new situation, so we have to negotiate the right things for him, for the club and then see what happens."
