Brighton rejects two bids(£18.5m and £22m) from Leeds United for Ben White

No but I don't think you've read anything I've been saying either. If we do sell to Leeds, the fee will be reflect certain issues. One of those is that we're positional rivals. Weirdly we'd likely sell for 30m to Liverpool as they aren't positional rivals (we aren't exactly going to be challenging for the title) so selling hin to them isn't going to harm us. Indeed it'll help us in the long run as players with potential will see us as a club that they can progress with. A club that won't stand in their way should a big club come knocking.

On the other hand selling White to Leeds on the cheap tells those same players that we're just small fry who'll be relegated sooner rather than later and have no ambition to improve
