Juventus are seriously interested in making a move for Brighton and Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who has reportedly given the green light for a move to Turin.
The 24-year-old shot to prominence at the World Cup in Qatar, being one of Argentina’s brightest stars in their run to the title. Mac Allister featured in all but one of the Albiceleste’s matches, scoring against Poland and providing an assist in the final against France.
As detailed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are looking to pick up a new midfielder to slot into Massimiliano Allegri’s squad, preparing for the departure of Adrien Rabiot in the summer. The Old Lady are also willing to sell Weston McKennie to raise funds, pushing them to search for a top replacement.
Mac Allister’s work at the World Cup wooed Juventus, who are keen on picking up the 24-year-old. The Argentinian midfielder has made it clear that he’s open to the move to Turin, giving the club a key boost.
Now the ball has passed to Brighton, who need to decide if they want to cash in on the World Cup winner. The player has an estimated market value of around €42m and is wanted by a number of clubs around Europe.
