May 13th According to TheAthletic, Brighton is negotiating with Milner about the contract renewal.

It is reported that Brighton is in talks with Milner to extend his contract with the club. Milner, 39, is discussing plans for the future after two consecutive seasons of injury. Brighton hopes to continue to leverage Milner's extensive top-level game experience and versatile abilities in the future, although it has not been determined whether he will continue to play both roles as a player and a coach.

Milner is one of the most active members of the team on and off the court. It is reported that Milner's contract will expire this summer. He joined Brighton in 2023 as a free transfer, after spending eight successful years at Liverpool. He made 20 appearances in the first half of his first season under former head coach Dezelby, but missed the second half due to injury and signed a new one-year contract last May.

Led by Dezelby's successor, Hulzerle, Milner started the midfield in the first three league games early this season but was absent from a hamstring injury in August due to a hamstring injury. Milner completed his 637th Premier League appearance against Arsenal, just 16 games away from Gareth Barry's 653 appearances record.

In addition, the former England international has also played for Leeds United, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Manchester City during his 23-year top-flight career, and he is eager to continue playing at the age of 40. It is understood that Brighton will face Premier League champion Liverpool at home on Monday night, their last home game of the season. They are currently competing with Brentford and Bournemouth for the eighth place in the league, which may be enough to qualify for European competitions.
