Alexis McAlister is said to have caught the attention of Manchester City’s boss Pep Guardiola.
Share:Manchester City is reportedly eyeing a move for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to a report by The The Daily Star , the defending Premier League champions are keen on bringing the 24-year-old Argentina international to the Etihad Stadium.
The talented midfielder, who recently won the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina, is highly valued by his current club, with Brighton and Hove Albion reportedly valuing him at a whopping £70 million.
Guardiola is believed to see Mac Allister as the perfect addition to his squad this summer, as the manager looks to strengthen his side and defend their Premier League title next season.
However, Manchester City will face stiff competition from other Premier League giants, including Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal, who are also reportedly interested in the young midfielder.
Despite this, it is expected that Brighton and Hove Albion will be open to negotiating a deal for Mac Allister in the upcoming summer transfer window.
During his time at Brighton, Mac Allister has shown steady progress and was particularly impressive during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he played a pivotal role in Argentina’s triumph. It is not surprising that the midfielder has attracted the interest of several top-flight clubs.
If Manchester City does pursue Mac Allister, it remains to be seen whether the club can secure the young midfielder’s services and strengthen their already impressive squad.
