I may be way off, but I would guess that the club agrees personal terms with the players agent. Not a lot the club can do about this.

I believe clubs agreeing personal terms before even making a bid is very commonplace these days. Totally unethical in my opinion. There should be a rule whereby the selling club has to accept an offer before personal terms can be agreed. Otherwise it helps to agitate moves etc. players sign a contract and should honour that unless the selling club is willing to let them break it.
We don't know that such permission wasn't granted - it seems likely that it could all have been done a while ago.
Exit clause? The one Barber has stated before none of the players have on their contracts as Tony refuses to have them. Interesting.

Bloke is just full of
Was "completing this week" when he's away in Italy at a wedding. Now "completing next week" when he's in the USA (apparently) getting ready for the Argentina vs Australia in China game in a couple of weeks. As if Tony would let him go for "way less" than £65m.
Just spouting crap. Yes it might have legs to Liverpool, but so much filling in the blanks that it's hilarious how some think it's gospel.

Mac says he's happy to stay here. If teams like liverpool want him, they'll need to meet our valuation

The clubs agree terms with the agents rather than the players. That's the way around it.

Which is essentially what he has been saying all along.

I like the man even more. I think he is very humble and grateful for what Brighton has done for him.
Even if he knows he'll be playing for another club next season, he still says the right things.
Unlike one or two recent departures....

What a top bloke Mac Allister is. I hope everyone ignores all of the noise and misinformation from all of the social media “experts” and look at how he’s handled himself and what he’s actually said.

Mac Allister genuinely loves this football club. It's so rare to see these days.
He's not trying to engineer a move away like so many have done to us. He's treating the club with absolute respect. Perhaps his heart wants to stay, even if his brain says he can't miss out on an opportunity of trophies and/or a massive wage.
Don't think any of us will blame him if/when he goes. In fact I expect most of us will wish him success wherever he goes, even if it's a club that we're not fond of.
He a Brighton legend, an absolute gent, and a world class footballer.
Would be magical if he somehow stayed with us... but if not, would be ecstatic to see him come back home one day.

The impression I get is just that. I think Mac would happily stay one more season, but also understand why his Dad is chasing the £££.
