Think they are waiting for a few other clubs to enter the race and start a bidding war.

Fair enough, he's their player after all.

in this current climate 30 million is a more than fair bid imo, i thought 25 was,and i don't think we should pay more. if they think they can hold out for more elsewhere good luck to them, aside from maybe Liverpool i can't see anyone else going upwards of 30mill.

Brighton are probably thinking if Nathan Ake, a defender in a relegated team who conceded 70 goals is worth £40m then Ben White is worth £30m.

on the flip side White has never kicked a ball in the premier league so as much potential as he has we don't yet know if he can cut it at that level. for 30/40 million you could pick up a ready made proven top level centre back particularly from overseas. i hope we get white but there comes a point we accept we have to look elsewhere.

Tough, but fair assement.

Leeds saying they only bid £22 mil for him.
Could be Brighton trying to push up the ante.
Agreed that whilst it would be good to get him 22 mil should be our final bid and let`s bring in someone else.

He needs to put a transfer request in. Force the move.

the talk is brighton have offered him a new deal and he hasn't accepted that. it seems that the next step needs to be him putting in the transfer request if he does that changes everything. he only has 2 years left on his current deal so Brighton will have to cash in now really. leeds should put in one last 25 million take it or leave it bid and see what happens.

I’m slightly concerned he’s not done it by now.. got a feeling this may drag a bit but hope I’m wrong. There’s a lot of talk about Batshuyai from Chelsea according to Phil Hay.. that lad has plenty of natural talent and worked with Bielsa before
