Honestly don't see anyway that isn't red. A dumb thing to do.

Potential is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. He could be sold on for a massive profit with that shared back to his current club. Or he could flop massively, leave on a free and they could end up with sweet FA. Or, if you prefer, he could be a massive hit, but love the sunny South coast so...

From what I can gather here, I think the idea is that he currently has a $10m release clause, but if he signs the new contract on the table, that will be raised to $14m sometime next week. Brighton offered $10m + 10% sell on now in the hopes of getting this done before the new contract goes into...
