It’s unlikely at this stage but I do believe money talks and if Brighton feel like he won’t be the same player for the remainder of the season they will need to consider selling. That or give him a new contract which would end our interest immediately.
Money does of course talk, but you have to ask yourself if they reject 70 million now are they going to accept 80 or even 90 million and my feeling is no

Going back in again suggests we believe the player wants to come to us and I think that’s not in doubt.

Yes there’s an offer at which Brighton would sell to us, but let’s just say we are no where near it. I’m talking double what we actually offered to begin with originally at a minimum
