May well be possible, but I think he would cost like £30m... not very Brighton-esque (but a fee like that is bound to happen some day).
View from Germany: makes sense that Leipzig would want to ship him off having just signed Germany left back/left wing-back David Raum from Hoffenheim (26m €). Can't comment on whether we are in any way interested. From what I've watched of him at Leipzig since he came here from City this would be a fantastic replacement but I'd be surprised other clubs aren't also interested.
They bought him for like £15m or something similar, and he's the starting LWB in RB Leipzig and is labelled as a top class LWB... I don't think they're selling below £30m. But you may well be right that we wouldn't pay that.
Surely, if they've just paid the equivalent of £22m to replace him, it would take Manchester Cityesque levels of hubris to think that they were going to offload him for £8m more.
I think we have to pay a "Premier League club tax" in the same way as City would have to pay a "widely despised, ESL plugging, petro state club tax" that City would have to pay
HAs a price actually been mentioned anywhere ?

Nope.
But been plenty of rumours about him this summer: Barcelona, Real, PSG, Inter, Juventus... this guy got eyes on him and won't be cheap.
The bloke can't defend however and knowing that this part of his game is far from giant club-level, a fee of £25-30m might be too much for them to spend on someone who might only be a bench player in most or all of these clubs.
Obviously his defending will be a cause of concern for Brighton as well but the club might see potential in him to improve that part of his game.When attacking he is likely on the same level or better as Cucurella.
