Defender Adam Webster will leave Brighton when his contract expires next month after seven years and 158 appearances.
The 31-year-old defender joined the Seagulls in 2019 from Bristol City and was part of the side that earned the club its highest league finish when they came sixth in 2023 and qualified for the Europa League.
Webster suffered a knee injury during pre-season in summer 2025 and did not feature in his final campaign.
"I will never forget what you did for us, especially last season in a tough period," said Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler.
"You stepped up as a great leader. You stepped up as a great person. You really showed our principles on the pitch and beside the pitch.
"You have a great positivity in your character, and that always makes a team run, makes a team work hard and makes a team successful."
Brighton say Webster will continue his rehabilitation with the club's medical staff over the summer.
"You will come back stronger. Rehab feels lonely sometimes, but I want you to know that you should never feel lonely," added Hurzeler.
"You have so many people here in Brighton - in the team, players and staff - who will be there for you, who will support you even when you're not here any more.
"I always said to you that good things will come to good people, and you are a great person, so great things will come to you. All the best for your future. Stay strong, and we will see each other on the pitch."

We asked for your views on which players Brighton should sign from the three relegated Premier League sides Wolves,Burnley and West Ham United.
Here are some of your suggestions:
Seb: I think we should be looking at the Wolves player Mateus Mane and West Ham's Konstantinos Mavropanos.
Colin: Jarrod Bowen would be brilliant.
Tony: Crysencio Summerville [West Ham], who we tried to sign before. Mateus Fernandes [West Ham], Valentin Castellanos [West Ham], or Jaidon Anthony [Burnley]. Marcus Edwards [Burnley] is a tidy footballer too.
Xavier: We need a right-back desperately after the departure of Joel Veltman, so Aaron Wan-Bissaka from West Ham would be a great replacement as he is reliable and also affordable.
Joe: Bowen [West Ham] is the obvious, but also Summerville - as for me Diego Gomez and Yankuba Minteh are both busted flushes and need to move on. Also Wan-Bissaka as Mats Wieffer is not a right-back!
Nigel: Brighton don't need to buy from relegated clubs, but they should buy Harvey Elliott after his wasted year at Aston Villa. England U21 star who Villa did not really want.
Julian: Bowen. Had a good season and would arguably help to fill the void of missed opportunities
