The father of Brighton & Hove Albion star Alexis Mac Allister has revealed that the Chelsea target has been contacted by several clubs.

Mac Allister played a key role as Argentina won the Qatar 2022 World Cup and Chelsea have identified the midfielder as a transfer target this summer.

Carlos Mac Allister, the father of the World Cup-winning midfielder, has claimed that the Brighton midfielder has been approached by multiple clubs.

Carlos has also claimed that his son is yet to enter concrete talks with any club and will decide his next step at the end of the season.

Speaking to ESPN, Carlos Mac Allister said, as quoted by Goal:

“Clubs are starting to call us for Alexis but there are no concrete talks now. We’ll decide together with Brighton, they deserve respect. We will pick the best project, based on the coach too — it’s not about money.”

Mac Allister was signed by Brighton from Argentinos Juniors for a fee of just £7 million back in 2019.

The 24-year-old has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur.
