Roberto de Zerbi has admitted that Liverpool transfer target Alexis Mac Allister could've played his final game for Brighton, hinting that he'll be allowed to "play at a higher level."
Mac Allister, 24, was in tears when the Seagulls' superb season came to an end on Sunday and is understood to be edging closer to a switch to Anfield worth in the region of £60million. After his Brighton side fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss away to Aston Villa, boss De Zerbi confessed that the highly-rated Argentine midfielder could've bowed out alongside in-demand team-mate Moises Caicedo.
"I think it can be the last game for Alexis and Moises," the Brighton manager confessed post-match. "I am really sorry because they are two great people and two great players but the policy of Brighton is like this. It is right that they can leave, they can play at higher level."
