Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly expressed interest in signing Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Brajan Gruda following his impressive performances during his loan spell at RB Leipzig.

The 22-year-old German forward has enjoyed a promising start to the 2026/27 campaign after struggling to secure regular playing time at Brighton. His return to German football appears to have revived his confidence and helped him rediscover the form that made him one of the exciting young attacking talents.

Gruda joined Brighton from Mainz in the summer of 2024 in a deal reportedly worth £25 million. However, competition for places at the Amex Stadium limited his opportunities, prompting head coach Fabian Hürzeler to approve a temporary move to Leipzig.

The decision has so far worked in the player's favour, with Gruda recording two goals and five assists across all competitions during the opening months of the season.

His performances have attracted attention from Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, who are reportedly monitoring his progress ahead of future transfer windows.

Both clubs are understood to admire his versatility, creativity and ability to operate in different attacking positions. His pressing ability and movement have also made him an attractive prospect for teams competing at the highest level of German football.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig remain interested in securing his services permanently. The club reportedly has a conditional obligation to buy him for approximately £25 million if he reaches a specified appearance target.

However, uncertainty surrounding that agreement could provide Bayern and Leverkusen with an opportunity to pursue the talented attacker.

With the January transfer window approaching, Gruda's future is expected to attract further attention.
