Brighton rejected two bids for its centre-back who has one year left on his contract. The south-coast club said the offers fell short of its valuation.
The defender played under the incoming manager during two prior seasons at Brighton. He has since become one of the league's top performers in his position. Interest in the player has come from multiple clubs, according to the club's chief executive. The executive stated that any deal must work for both the club and the player.
The same club signed Scotland captain Andy Robertson on a free transfer from Liverpool on Friday. A second free-agent signing is expected to follow. The owners pledged after the 2025-26 season to fund a squad rebuild aimed at improving league standing.
