Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister appeared to bid goodbye to the Seagulls after Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, with manager Roberto De Zerbi expecting him and fellow midfielder Moises Caicedo to leave.
The Argentina World Cup winner played for the full 90 minutes of the clash at Villa Park, where the hosts' win has confirmed that they will play Europa Conference League football next season.
After the match Mac Allister broke down in tears as he was surrounded by his teammates, before waving to away fans as he made his way towards the tunnel.
