Bissouma, who joined Brighton for £15million from Lille in 2018, has two-and-a-half years left on his contract.

Spanish outlet Defensa Central claim Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane sees the midfielder as a cheaper alternative to Paul Pogba and Eduardo Camavinga.

The report adds Bissouma could cost Los Blancos as much as £36.3million (€40m).

Brighton boss Graham Potter has admitted he is not worried about losing his star man.

He said: “I have never been a coach that worries about losing a player.

“If you worry about losing players to teams higher up the hierarchy – because that’s ultimately what it is – and the club think selling the player is the right thing to do, then it’s a result of doing something well.

“I don’t think you should ever worry about that. It’s part of football and a lot of it is talk, speculation or nonsense.

“There’s always truth as well somewhere, but I am not worried about anything.

“I am just helping the players to improve, to get them to the highest level of performance that I can and then we will see.”
