It has been claimed by TEAMtalk’s Fraser Fletcher that the club won’t let him go for less than £80m and that both Bayern Munich and Liverpool are interested in with the added complication that they are both after Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz.

I would be absolutely gutted if he left. More than any of the departures in recent years. Whenever he hasn’t played over the last couple of years, we’ve looked rubbish.
The commentator on my Liverpool stream said the same thing. It is worrying crap last season when he was injured to we fell of a cliff.

Think there’s a little recency bias in some of the comments on here. He turned the match off the bench last week so it’s fresh in the memory but there have been several occasions where he has effectively been marked out of the game.

That’s not to say he wouldn’t be a huge loss. He has that rare ability to turn the match with a moment of genius and will be all but impossible to replace on a like for like basis. But life goes on and we shall just have to adapt. He’s been nothing but professional, never once throwing his toys out of the pram to force a move. I’d be really sad to see him go but couldn’t begrudge him the opportunity for one minute.

Price is now the thing and the club will doubtless do what it does in getting maximum value from any deal.

Seems as if Bayern are looking at Mitoma and Rafael Leao for their left wing spot.

Let’s hope they go for the latter.

Cant blame Mitoma one bit for wanting to go. He’s been exemplary in the way he conducts himself and the club will be well aware of the likelihood of him going.

It’s our model and although I expect the transfer fee will disappoint some as it will be less than the Saudi offer, it is another great example to young, talented prospects, why choosing Brighton as their next step is the right one.

The same model works very well for Dortmund and they seem to continuously be able to get over losses of key players.
