The 23-year-old spent the 2019-20 season at Elland Road on loan, playing a crucial role as the Whites secured Premier League promotion for the first time in 16 years.
Leeds wanted to hold on to White permanently last summer after such an impressive campaign, but Brighton knocked back their offers and are looking to do so once again.
They value the England international centre-back at over £50 million, but the Yorkshire side are not likely to stump up such a fee.

Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa apparently remains a huge fan of White and is keen on signing a centre-back this summer.
The Whites boss was full of praise for the English defender in January, admitting his admiration, love and respect for him.
