Great news, now lets get him fit
If Lamptey has a release clause of just £25m, I will go out on a limb that there’ll be a ton of clubs making £25m bids in coming weeks.
He may or may not have a release clause, but no chance Tony would agree to a cut price one. Wouldn’t make business sense.
You’re probably right, could we find a situation where everyone is interested and then a bidding war begins?
Marvellous!

One thing that is certain is that nobody outside the club knows how much he'll be paid, whether there is a release clause (or how much) and whether Chelsea have a sell on clause (and how much). Fact.
Top work by the club and well done young man
His agent will know, and therefore any interested club will know when they ask the agent.

A high minimum release clause wouldn't price a player out of a move. It is just the price at which a club have to tell the player about the offer and give that player a chance to speak to the other club. It would be stupid of the club to set low and is in the clubs best interests to set it higher, it doesn't mean we wouldn't accept less than the minimum release value either. We'd be stupid to set it at something like £25 million as any club would match that for a player of Lamptey's ability, it then comes down to what the other club is willing to offer in personal terms etc.

No release clause according to reports.
Complicated, isn't it? Do you think we'll offer him a car?
From David Ornstein in The Athletic (18/1/21):
Arsenal, Everton and Manchester City unlikely to be put off by Lamptey’s new deal
Tariq Lamptey’s impressive rise has been rewarded with a new long-term contract at Brighton but it is unlikely to discourage the clubs who were keen on recruiting him.
Despite only joining from Chelsea 12 months ago, the right-back recently agreed a fresh four-and-a-half-year deal worth £40,000 per week and signed the paperwork last Friday.
That ended any chance of Lamptey departing the Amex Stadium this month, although his suitors were all aware of the situation and so this development would not have taken them by surprise.
Arsenal, Everton and Manchester City are among the 20-year-old’s domestic admirers and he was heavily linked with Bayern Munich last summer, although no bids are thought to have been made.
Brighton, who announced Lamptey’s new deal on Sunday, tend not to stand in the way of players seeking to move elsewhere if a suitable offer arrives. It is expected their asking price for Lamptey — an England Under-21 international who also qualifies to represent Ghana — will be similar under the improved terms as it was previously.
