Multiple Premier League clubs are keen to land Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, according to Cesar Luis Merlo.
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United are all reported to be keeping close tabs on the 24-year-old, with two of those having already made contact with the Seagulls over a potential move.
It is reported that clubs are looking to sign him this summer, while the player’s father and representatives are already in England monitoring the situation closely.
Mac Allister, a World Cup winner with Argentina last December, has been linked with a move away from the Amex Stadium since the January transfer window, and it looks as though interest is set to resurface when the transfer window opens in July.
He has remained a key player for Roberto De Zerbi’s side this season, having scored eight goals in 24 league appearances.
Barcelona are not searching for a number of external sponsorship partners to help fund Lionel Messi’s return to Camp Nou this summer, says Barca football director Mateu Alemany.
Messi, 35, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until this summer. The Argentina captain is a target of Barca but is also considering a move to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Thousands of Barca fans chanted Messi’s name at Camp Nou in the 10th minute of the Copa del Rey semi-final return leg defeat against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
“Messi is the best in the history,” Alemany said on Wednesday. “Our respect for him in this club is unquestionable. We do our thing, Messi does his thing. What the future hold no one knows.”
Asked if the club were seeking external sponsorship partners to pave the way for Messi’s return, he said: “I can assure you we are doing nothing like that at this point.”
