Albion are relaxed about their efforts to land Dan Burn or another central defender before the Premier League transfer window shuts on Thursday.
The Argus understands a deal is on the table for the Wigan giant - but the Seagulls are not fretting if it does not come off.
Boss Chris Hughton is comfortable he has adequate cover at the heart of the back four for Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy and Leon Balogun.
Bruno and Bernardo can both play in the middle along with young prospect Ben White, who has been used in the first team squad during the pre-season programme.
Albion have also targeted Reading's Liam Moore and Sheffield United's Jack O'Connell this summer following the departures of Connor Goldson to Glasgow Rangers and Uwe Huenemeier back to Paderborn.
The asking prices for Moore and O'Connell have proved prohibitive in the context of back-up options.
