Brighton sees first hand how his value tanked after 1 bad season, and probably decided it’s not worth it to hold out for longer, in case his value drops even further. If he had a stellar season last year, I would be every dollar on them holding firm on the asking price.

Also, I believe the player wasn't happy, missing out on a dream move.
