A little over three months ago, Lionel Messi managed to lift the long-awaited World Cup in Qatar, after beating France in a penalty shootout. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) was surrounded by players who gave the stature and were key in the great performance of the Albiceleste. Now, one of the elements that shone in the Middle East and danced to the Gauls in the grand final is wanted by three greats from the Premier League.

The captain of the Argentine team was accompanied by players like Emiliano Martínez, Nicolás Otamendi, Julián Álvarez or Alexis Mac Allister, who were essential for the team led by Lionel Scaloni to win the trophy after 36 years. Now, Mac Allister is wanted by the most important teams in England and his stay in Brighton is coming to an end.

The journalist César Luis Merlo confirmed that Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool want to drive the world champion, who signed a dream World Cup and confirmed his hierarchy against France, in the grand final, where he was superior to the midfield of the Europeans. The communicator expanded that two of the three clubs are already advancing in negotiations to try to acquire him in the next transfer market.

How much would Brighton ask for Alexis Mac Allister?

The former Argentinos and Boca Juniors player has a contract with Brighton until 2025, however, the 'seagulls' board is open to listening to offers. As Merlo details, the club would expect to get £61m for Mac Allister, ie $75m. The next few weeks will be key, since there is also interest from Real Madrid, of course everything depends on the arrival or not of Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabéu.
