Brighton set prices for midfield pair Caicedo and Mac Allister

Brighton have set their prices for midfield pair Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.

Caicedo remains on the radar of Arsenal, while Mac Allister is a target for Liverpool and Manchester United.

Sky Sports says Brighton want ?70m each for the two players.

And the midfield duo are expected to be sold this summer, with both having expressed their plans to depart.

Brigton chief Paul Barber said this week: “Well, there’s always going to be rumours when we do well and our people do well. There’s always going to be bigger clubs playing at a higher level looking to take our best people – but all we can do is perform at our highest potential, hopefully get to the highest position we ever have done in the Premier League and we’re confident we can keep our best people here for as long as possible.

“But you can never say anything is guaranteed in football and we’re certainly going to work hard to keep the best people here. First of all, we know it’s going to happen so we have to prepare for it as best as we can in advance. We try and bring more young players into the club, we try and look for where we’re potentially most vulnerable in terms of outgoings, and then we try to create the best possible environment we can for our own players so they want to stay here.

“I think every club these days is a selling club to some extent, even the biggest clubs sometimes get tempted by unbelievable offers for their players. Our challenge is to make sure that when we do lose players we’ve got player either already in the door, which is our ideal position, or coming back very quickly after them.

“That’s what we’ll keep trying to do, we’ll keep recruiting as we have done and hopefully building value for the club for the future.”
