Brighton plot double move for El Mala brothers to win €50m ...
Brighton could gain an edge in the race for Said El Mala by signing his brother Malek as well, with Chelsea and Newcastle also interested.
footballplace.co.ukHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
Brighton and other Premier League clubs were reportedly tracking Malek El Mala, with some outlets suggesting interest in pairing his signing with his brother Malek El Mala as part of a package deal for Said El Mala. This storyline appeared in a March 2026 article, which speculated about continued interest from Brighton, Chelsea, and Newcastle United, and noted the family’s involvement in negotiations.[1]
There are various player-tracking sites and outlets listing Malek El Mala as a Köln (FC Cologne) forward with a profile and career history, but concrete, verified transfer confirmations in late 2025 to 2026 among top leagues remain unconfirmed in major outlets. These sources include BeSoccer, FotMob, PlaymakerStats, and others that track player movements and market values.[2][6][7][9]
General profile pages and aggregators (e.g., ESPN, Soccerway) show Malek El Mala in the public eye as a young forward associated with Köln and elsewhere, but A) some pages may mix similarly named players or reflect earlier career data, and B) definitive, up-to-date transfer confirmation would typically come from official club statements or widely corroborated outlets.[4][8][10]
