Brighton have so far referred suitors to the £115m fee they received from Chelsea for Moises Caicedo in 2023, believing another nine-figure sum would represent fair market value in the case of Baleba. But insiders now believe a deal could be struck closer to an overall package worth around £70m (€80m, €94.5m).

Outside is the narrow shelf that the co-owner Lucy Tallant, the DIY enthusiast of the pair, attached to the wall for those wanting to hang around outside. As she worked on that shelf, two girls walked past and one proclaimed: Yeah, they're opening a lesbian club.
