The father of Brighton ace Alexis Mac Allister has admitted he expects his son to have plenty of suitors in the summer but acknowledges it is going to take a huge bid for the Seagulls to permit his departure.
The Argentinian has been in demand ever since he helped his country lift the World Cup in Qatar late last year but has since returned to the south coast of England where Mac Allister is contracted to Brighton until the summer of 2025 at the earliest.
Mac Allister penned a new deal at the Amex just before the tournament so that Brighton could command a higher fee for him in the future. That plan has worked perfectly, with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea now well aware they will have to fork out a huge figure to try and land the Argentine.
