The Daily Star reports that Alexis MacAllister, a star for Brighton, is a potential transfer target for Manchester City.
Since he returned from Qatar with a World Cup winner’s medal, the midfield wizard has been linked with a move away from the Seagulls, and Pep Guardiola could seize the opportunity when the transfer window opens.
The South Coast side’s 24-year-old Mac Allister has played in 19 Premier League matches this season, and he has five goals to his name as Roberto De Zerbi’s team keeps winning.
With two games remaining, Brighton, who is currently ranked eighth, has a chance to pass Fulham and Liverpool.
And the Argentina international has been a key part of a high-pressing setup that has seen the club pick up impressive wins over Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in 2022-23.
Guardiola believes the midfielder would be the perfect addition to his world-class squad and would be willing to meet Brighton’s £70 million valuation.
The Spaniard is keen to freshen up his squad after a mediocre season so far has left the champions chasing Arsenal for the Premier League title.
Mac Allister’s contract runs until 2025, putting the Seagulls in control of the situation ahead of what is set to be another busy summer of spending for most clubs.
