Matías Orozco transfers from Deportivo Cali to Brighton

Matías Orozco, an 18-year-old midfielder from Deportivo Cali, has reached an agreement to join Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League. The transfer marks a significant financial boost for the Colombian club.

The deal is valued at approximately 4.8 million dollars. As part of the agreement, Deportivo Cali will retain a 15% percentage of the player's economic rights, allowing for potential future revenue should he be transferred again.
