On Tuesday, we reported claims from Paraguay that Brighton & Hove Albion and Julio Enciso are in talks over a new contract. It was also mentioned that this renewal is necessary for the Seagulls to approve a loan move in the winter transfer window.
Later that day, journalist Dominik Schneider revealed that the 20-year-old is refusing to sign a new deal at The Amex. Versus in Paraguay corroborated this, offering insight into why Enciso is hesitant to extend his contract.
The attacking midfielder has played 287 minutes across 11 league appearances this season, including two starts. While Fabian Hürzeler has given him more playing time recently, the report suggests Enciso is “not very comfortable” under the current manager.
As a result, the Paraguay international has requested a move this winter, with plans to go on loan in search of regular playing time.
Versus reports that Enciso’s representatives are currently evaluating several offers and have two weeks to reach a decision.
Brighton are keen to extend his contract, but Enciso is reluctant as he envisions his long-term future away from The Amex. As a result, he is actively seeking a move this January, leaving the Seagulls with an important decision to make.
