Chelsea's interest in Alexis Mac Allister has cooled with Liverpool now the clear front-runners to sign the Brighton midfielder, football.london understands.
As reported last month, the Blues hold an interest in the Argentina World Cup winner but that has cooled in recent weeks with Liverpool stepping up their pursuit of the midfielder. It's understood and reported elsewhere that the Reds have made Mac Allister one of their midfield priorities ahead of the summer transfer window and the club are confident they can land his signature.
Chelsea have been very impressed with Mac Allister's development this season down at Brighton. The midfielder has been one of the key figures for the Seagulls in what looks set to be a record-breaking season for them and he also shone for Argentina in their World Cup success towards the back end of 2022.
