There was nothing in the Dunk to Leicester rumours last summer and there's nothing to suggest there;s anything in this either.

Don’t we need seagullwegee(?) to tell us exactly what’s going on 
I believe Dunk has another 3 years on his contract and I see no signs that the club want to get rid of their captain!!!

I don't think Dunk's contract is worth £45m. He's 29 this year. I wouldn't put someone on a four year deal at that age for such an amount. Not now anyway.
Hopefully he stays and White settles in- or moves on for a decent exchange.
I could see Dunk leaving if it was for a club able to win the league, i.e. if City needs a new homegrown player (they are short of cbs) or if Liverpool wants to replace Lovren with another backup. The wage, the chance to get a title, playing in CL and the possibility of getting into the NT could make him move despite his love for the club. Its not impossible. He wouldnt be good enough to start for them every week.
Of course they would have to pay a lot (whatever that is in 2020) but if he really wanted to give it a shot I dont think the club would ask for unrealistic amounts.
As for Ben White, his flirting with Leeds is nasty and if he wants to go there: sell him for dirty money and a dirty sell-on clause. I think Potter could talk him into staying though.

There is nothing to suggest White is flirting with Leeds. If anything, he was more popular with Newport fans, where he was voted Player of the Season, during his loan spell there.
Neither do I, more than a touch of Devil's Advocate.
But this is football and you don't get any shrewder than Mr Bloom.
At some point Dunk's value will be more than his worth.
It's clear we're already there with Duffy
which in turn probably increases Dunk's worth.If IF White is the real deal, if IF Webster kicks on, Dunk's worth to the Albion will tumble.
I can't see it myself, but I'd never say never.

White is contracted to us for another 2 years. He doesn’t need an extension to play for us once his agreed loan period at Leeds is up, which is in about 2 weeks.

I could be wrong, but I think they were alluding to having an extension to White’s loan at Leeds.

I don't think the PFA has much to do with loan agreements between clubs. Anyway, why would Leeds want to keep him on loan paying his wages? The PL may come up with a solution to restart to recoup the millions in TV revenue, but the EFL doesn't have the same problem and isn't going to be restarting anytime soon.

I don’t have answers for your questions, just suggesting that you’d misunderstood the initial post, as I said though, I could be wrong.

Do you still believe the man who said his job was to keep the manager in his job when he arrived here?

This is a win win situation for Brighton. If he stays, we've got a quality addition to our defence from our own youth ranks; if we get an offer we can't refuse, then we get 30m in the transfer fund for a player that we're not even going to miss.

He will be integrated into the side next to Pröpper in front of the back 3 or 4.

Leeds have been playing him in that role so it’s not totally out of the question I think bissouma and alzate might have something to say on it mind
