Alexis Mac Allister Next Club Odds: Where Next For The Brighton Maestro?

Brighton are resigned to losing star midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in the summer after his sparkling form put the country’s biggest clubs on red alert.

Betting sites make Liverpool the favourites to snap up the World Cup-winning midfield maestro during the upcoming transfer window.

However, they could face competition from the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea for the talented playmaker.

Mac Allister played a starring role alongside Enzo Fernandez as Argentina became world champions in December, and he received a hero’s welcome on his return to the south coast.

At the time, the 24-year-old midfielder suggested that he was happy at the club, but the Seagulls are now facing up to the prospect of losing him this summer.

He has maintained his superb form over the past few months, and manager Roberto De Zerbi admitted that both Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo are now likely to leave.

Mac Allister is unlikely to claim the same fee as Fernandez, who joined Chelsea for £107m in January, but suitors will need to stump up around £70m for his services.

You will find updated odds on his potential destination below, and we have then analysed each club’s chances of signing him.

Liverpool's Midfield Makeover: Why Alexis Mac Allister Is The Perfect Fit 

Liverpool will be desperate to bolster their midfield in the summer after falling well below expectations this season.

Jurgen Klopp has plenty of attacking options at his disposal, so his primary focus will be on improving the midfield and defence.

The Reds missed out on Jude Bellingham, and Mac Allister has always seemed like a more realistic target when you take their financial situation into account.

He is the perfect fit for Klopp’s system - hard-working, energetic, technically astute and tenacious - so he would slot seamlessly into the Liverpool engine room, potentially replacing the aging legs of Jordan Henderson.

As such, Liverpool are the 1/3 favourites with football betting sites to sign Mac Allister this summer.

Analysing Alexis Mac Allister's Potential Impact At Manchester United

Man Utd could go head-to-head with their fierce rivals in a bid to bring Mac Allister to Old Trafford this summer.

They are highly likely to be playing Champions League football next season, which could give them an edge over Liverpool in any transfer tug-of-war.

The arrival of Casemiro last summer added steel to the Man Utd midfield, but they still need more flair in the middle of the park.

Mac Allister is a versatile player, so he could fill the role currently occupied by Christian Eriksen, or he could play higher up the pitch in place of Bruno Fernandes.

That would make him a very useful addition to the United squad, so the Red Devils are the 4/1 second favourites with Bet365 to sign him.

Chelsea's Next Signing? Alexis Mac Allister Linked With A Move To Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will inevitably be involved in the race for a player of Mac Allister’s quality, as we are all now familiar with Todd Boehly’s propensity to spend money like a drunken sailor.

They have a huge array of midfielders on their books, but a summer clear-out could be on the cards, and the prospect of reuniting Mac Allister with Fernandez could be tempting.

Yet Chelsea may struggle to convince him to move to Stamford Bridge after a torrid campaign, so they are priced at 9/2 to sign him.

Could Alexis Mac Allister To Stay At Brighton Despite Transfer Rumours?

Brighton are now priced at just 9/1 with the new betting sites to hold onto Mac Allister this summer.

He has been at the club since 2019, but he went under the radar for a few years before delivering a string of scintillating performances this season.

His contract expires in June 2025, and Brighton have the option to extend it by another 12 months, so they do not need to sell.

However, holding onto a player that wants to leave is always difficult, and De Zerbi’s recent comments suggest they will bid farewell to him this year.

Alexis Mac Allister To Arsenal: Could The Midfielder Be The Missing Piece?

Arsenal received a brutal reminder of Mac Allister’s quality when he led the Seagulls to a 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

It was a result that killed off the Gunners’ title dreams, leaving them doomed to extend their title drought for at least another year.

Jorginho and Granit Xhaka could not deal with the energy and vitality of Caicedo and Mac Allister in that game.

The Gunners have already signed Ben White and Leandro Trossard from Brighton in recent years, and they could go back to the well for Mac Allister.

However, the clubs fell out over Arsenal’s unsuccessful attempt to sign Moises Caicedo in January, so they are now 12/1 to snap up Mac Allister.

Alexis Mac Allister Could Be The Perfect Addition To Man City's Midfield

The perennial Premier League champions could also be in the hunt for a new midfielder this summer if Ilkay Gundogan and/or Bernardo Silva leave.

They have a habit of signing the best players from smaller Premier League clubs - Nathan Aké, Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips spring to mind - so a move for Mac Allister would be in line with recent history.

However, they have not yet shown any intent to bid for the Argentinian midfielder, so they are also priced at 12/1 with betting apps in this market.

Madrid May Battle For Alexis Mac Allister Signature

Local rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both priced at 33/1 to bring Mac Allister to the Spanish capital this summer.

Real Madrid are on the brink of signing Jude Bellingham, while they also have Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouameni, Ernesto Valverde and veteran Luka Modric in their ranks, so a move for Mac Allister looks unlikely.

Atletico may be a more realistic option, as they have not made any major midfield signings for a couple of years, but Mac Allister is more likely to remain in the Premier League.
