Alexis Mac Allister’s name keeps creeping up ahead of the summer transfer window. Manchester United are reportedly interested in the Argentine and another impressive Brighton star.
BRIGHTON PAIR WANTED AT UNITED
Manchester United have sorely missed Casemiro whenever he has been unavailable this season. His importance is pretty concerning and it would not be surprising to see the Red Devils sign a new defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window.
Brighton’s Moises Caicedo is one of the best in the Premier League in that area of the pitch and would be an excellent signing for any club. His age (21), desire to move to a bigger club and the fact he is proven in Our League are all huge positives and despite the fact he recently signed a new contract, the Ecuadorian is expected to be aggressively sought after at the end of the season.
Another Brighton star attracting interest is World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and United have all been linked in recent months and according to The Telegraph, Erik ten Hag’s side have added him and Caicedo to their summer shortlist.
‘Along with a striker’, United are ‘prioritising’ the signing of a midfielder. It is noted that Arsenal tried to sign Caicedo in January – with the player very keen to join the Gunners – but are expected to pursue West Ham captain Declan Rice ahead of the 21-year-old.
Both Brighton midfielders are ‘likely to be valued in excess of £70m’.
Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong gets a mention after United’s failed pursuit last year. The signing of the Dutch playmaker remains unrealistic it seems.
INTER LIKELY TO SELL STAR MAN
Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella has been linked with a move to Liverpool for quite some time and the Italy international could be available for €50m (£44m) in the summer transfer window, according to Calciomercato.
This is a fairly decent price for someone of Barella’s quality. Especially when he is under contract at the San Siro until 2026 and was valued at €70-75m less than two months ago. The report says Inter’s stance is a ‘shock’ with Chelsea and Liverpool ‘monitoring’ the player’s situation.
Barella is apparently making himself a ‘protagonist’ which has been evident from spats on the pitch with teammates and it feels like it would be easy for Inter to ‘give up on him’, but they obviously know how talented he is, and how important he was in their 2021 Serie A title…
