Chelsea and Manchester City have recently been linked with a possible transfer move for Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, and Fabrizio Romano has an exclusive update on the future of the Argentina international.
Mac Allister shone in the Premier League and was also a key player for his country as they won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and it makes sense that Romano would now consider him one of the players to watch over the summer.
Writing in his exclusive CaughtOffside column ‘The Daily Briefing’, Romano suggested Man City’s focus at the moment was on Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham, while also not commenting specifically on links to Chelsea.
However, it seems that Romano is aware that Mac Allister wants a big move and that there is a chance it could happen for him at the end of this season.
“At the moment City are in the Bellingham race, there is nothing to report on Alexis Mac Allister,” Romano said.
“I was told he has a chance to leave in the summer as he would love to move to a top club, but Brighton guarantee they haven’t set a price yet and I guess it will be another great fight to sign the Brighton star. summer.”
Mac Allister has been linked as one of the names on Chelsea’s radar by The Athletic, while City links come from the Daily Star.
It seems the 24-year-old has more to offer at the highest level of the game, and could be an important addition to this struggling Chelsea side.
Meanwhile, City may also be looking to make some changes this summer, as Ilkay Gundogan nears the end of his contract, and Mac Allister could be a solid option after proving how well he can influence the biggest games.
