I havent seen one written document proving this and think its just an NSC myth that has arisen from assumption attached to a comment.

It seems a lot of posters here harbour the same prejudices based on appearance. Not very Brighton. He’s a kid, doing what kids do. Would you make a similar comment if he was non-white? What about Joao Pedro's ever-changing hairstyles? Adingra? Enciso?
Quite a weird angle to take on what was clearly a jokey post friend. But, to answer your question honestly - yes, I judge the whole gang of millionaire shit haircutted fannies all the time, depending on whim, weather and result.
I doubt he or his agents would want a championship club.
Have? RDZ (....quickly checks the Internet...) is no longer our manager.

A bizarre take to effectively accuse people of racism for having a gentle and humorous dig at the clothes and hairstyle of football player. It’s got nothing to do with the colour of his skin.
(Some might say appropriating another culture in style is a form of prejudice too but as you say it’s what ‘kids do’))
He's also most likely on a lot of money. Given we payed the release clause when we bought him there was no intermediary xfer fee collected by the agent so in order to accept something from Brighton, we may well have given him one of our top wages.
I'm guessing this is a key aspect complicating the situation.
We'll be paying all or part of his wages wherever he goes. If he (or his agent) thinks the Championship is beneath his dignity, then that could be a problem.

Sounds like a loan to Porto may still have been possible, but has been put on hold, at best, by the sacking of Vítor Bruno.
Benfica another possibility apparently.
