Albion have refused to let Chris Birchall leave for LA Galaxy.
Birchall's agent claims he has been verbally offered a one-year deal by David Beckham's American club, with an option for Galaxy of an extension.
But the Seagulls want to keep the midfielder for the rest of their relegation battle.
Boss Russell Slade said: "Obviously it's an attractive offer but first and foremost I need to consider the Albion, and we need Chris here in the fight for survival."
