RB Leipzig full-back Bernardo is facing a move to Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion, Bild understands.

Brighton will reportedly pay just under €10 million for the defender who joined RB Leipzig from RB Salzburg for €6 million back in 2016.

Bernardo, 23, was first linked with Brighton a couple of weeks ago and has also drawn interest from Wolfsburg.

Bernardo has made 49 appearances for RB Leipzig. He is very versatile and can play at either full-back as well as in the defensive midfield.

RB Leipzig have signed two full-backs this summer. The 20-year-old left-back Marcelo Sarrachi has joined the club from River Plate while the right-back Nordi Mukiele, also 20, has made the move from Montpellier.
