Alexis Mac Allister was one of the great revelations of the Argentina National Team that became world champion in Qatar 2022 after defeating France on penalties in one of the best finals in the history of the sport. The 23-year-old took over one of the starting XI spots after Giovani Lo Celso’s injury and absence from the tournament.
The player who emerged from Argentinos Jrs was having a great season with Brighton in the Premier League in which he has played 14 games and 5 goals scored but with a level of play that positioned him as one of Lionel Scaloni’s favorite players to join the 26-player roster for the World Cup.
Already in Qatar 2022, Mac Allister did not start in the debut with a loss against Saudi Arabia but after that match he entered the starting eleven and did not come out again, he even had the pleasure of scoring a goal against Poland and assisting Ángel Di María in the second goal in the final against France. His performances consolidated him as one of the best players on the team that became world champion.
A very important physical display and an enviable technical quality with the ball at his feet, Alexis Mac Allister will be closely followed by the best clubs in Europe, so there will be no shortage of offers for a club like Brighton, who are already thinking of retaining him. With this objective, “The Seagulls” will offer him a new contract but they know that it will be difficult to keep a player of this caliber in the club.
With a contract until 2025, and the possibility of extending it for another year, Brighton and Mac Allister will have to resolve their future in the coming days but, without a doubt, both are happy with the present they are living. On the club side, they have the possibility of enjoying a world champion in their team but also getting a strong economic injection with their possible sale while the attacking midfielder will continue to enjoy the title achieved in Qatar with the possibility of giving the next great step in his career.
