Brighton & Hove Albion has shown interest in signing Mio Backhaus from SV Werder Bremen. The 20-year-old goalkeeper, who is also being eyed by FC Barcelona, would initially be considered for a challenger role at the club. Backhaus, currently a German U20 national player, is primarily on the bench at Bremen, where Michael Zetterer is the first choice goalkeeper. This situation has left Backhaus open to exploring opportunities elsewhere.
