Brighton has placed a valuation between €15 million and €20 million on midfielder Matt O'Riley, who has attracted attention from Borussia Dortmund.

O'Riley's recent loan and playing time

Last summer, O'Riley moved to Marseille on a season-long loan, which was ended early in February after he scored once in 25 appearances. Since returning, the Danish international has made only six appearances totaling 206 minutes under Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler.

Brighton's Premier League standing and European prospects

Currently seventh in the Premier League, Brighton could finish sixth if they defeat Manchester United in their final match and Bournemouth lose to Nottingham Forest. The club is aiming to secure a place in European competition next season.

Interest from Borussia Dortmund

According to Sky Germany, Borussia Dortmund's coach Nico Kovac regards O'Riley as an "intriguing" talent. Despite O'Riley being contracted to Brighton until 2029, limited first-team opportunities have made a move to the Bundesliga a possibility.
