Early Life and Career
Jeremy Sarmiento was born on June 16, 2002, in Madrid, Spain, to Ecuadorian parents. He moved to England at the age of seven and began his footballing journey in the capital with Charlton Athletic.
Peckham, south London, was where the attacker grew up during his early years in the UK while developing his skills in the Addicks’ academy.
Despite his Ecuadorian roots, Jeremy’s initial taste of international football came in the Three Lions’ U16s squad in 2017.
Sarmiento played alongside talented young stars such as Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho up to 18s level before switching his national commitments to Ecuador in 2021.
At 16, Sarmiento made a bold move to Lisbon. He arrived at the age of 15 and was playing UEFA Youth League games, which was something he wouldn’t have got at Charlton. The club also has a tradition of producing many players for the first team.
His three years at Benfica’s academy, as documented on Transfermarkt, shaped him into a winger with technical maturity beyond his age.
His final year at Benfica was difficult — he did not renew his contract and fell out of the squad — but it led directly to his move back to England and his professional breakthrough.
Professional Career
Sarmiento signed for the academy of Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion on 2 July 2021.
He made his professional debut just weeks later, coming off the bench in a 2–0 EFL Cup win over Swansea City.
His first Premier League season earned him the Brighton & Hove Albion Young Player of the Season award for 2021–22.
On 31 January 2022, he signed a new contract committing his long-term future to Brighton until June 2026.
Since then, his development has come largely through loan moves. He spent time at West Brom in 2023 — scoring his first professional goal in a 4–2 win over Middlesbrough — before returning to Brighton.
The 2024–25 season saw him join Burnley on loan, where he contributed to a promotion push.
He then moved to Italian Serie A club Cremonese in September 2025, before Brighton confirmed his loan move to Middlesbrough in January 2026, with an option to make the deal permanent.
On the international stage, Sarmiento made his Ecuador debut in October 2021, scoring in a 3–0 World Cup qualifier win over Bolivia.
He appeared at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and has remained a regular part of Ecuador’s setup, helping them qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Jeremy Sarmiento’s Net Worth Details

Contract
Sarmiento’s Brighton & Hove Albion contract expires on June 30, 2027. His current loan at Middlesbrough runs until June 30, 2026, and includes an obligation-to-buy clause with conditions attached.
Middlesbrough’s sporting director Jason Ayto confirmed the deal gives Sarmiento the possibility of a permanent move if things go well at a club challenging for promotion to the Premier League.
However, reports in March 2026 suggested Middlesbrough were unlikely to exercise their option to buy him permanently.
Salary

His earlier Brighton contract, signed in January 2022, put his annual salary at approximately £213,200.
As documented by Capology’s football salary database, his wages have increased steadily with each loan move up the footballing pyramid.
