Brighton agree £29.8m Kostoulas deal

London, June 12 (UNI) Brighton have agreed a £29.78m (35m euros) deal with Olympiakos for
18-year-old forward Charalampos Kostoulas.
The teenager was undergoing a medical with the club on Thursday, ahead of signing a five-year contract that will start on 1 July.
The deal represents by some distance the highest fee ever received by a Greek club, beating the £16.6m Wolves paid to sign Daniel Podence from Olympiakos in 2020.
Should an add-on of £1.7m for Kostoulas be met during his time at Brighton, it would be a record paid for a Greek player - topping the £30.63m Napoli paid Roma for Kostas Manolas in 2019.
The Greece Under-21 international made his first-team debut in 2024, having come through Olympiakos' academy, according to a BBC news.
Kostoulas was a regular starter as the Olympiakos won the prestigious UEFA Youth League in 2024, beating Inter Milan and Bayern Munich on their way to the final, where they defeated AC Milan.
The forward netted seven goals in 22 league appearances last season.
