Todd Bohely is expected to obtain a £70 million machine to replace Mason Mount.
Recent rumours claim that Chelsea is interested in signing midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Hove Albion this summer. The Argentine may be a significant improvement over Mason Mount at Stamford Bridge.
Mac Allister might be acquired by Chelsea.
The midfield maestro will leave the Amex Stadium before the summer transfer window closes, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who also claims that Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all interested.
The 24-year-old, who has drawn attention with his performances for club and country this season, is claimed to have drawn interest from the three teams, all of which are said to have approached the Seagulls about a potential trade for him. He is supposedly valued at an unbelievable £70 million.
"Alexis Mac Allister, expected to leave early this summer — understand there are three clubs in the race: Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United," the renowned transfer guru tweeted. These organisations have spoken with the player's camp about the initiative. The #BHAFC will soon decide on the pricing.
Todd Boehly, owner of the Blues, has made significant financial investments at Stamford Bridge, but he might change his mind after seeing Mac Allister shine in Argentina's World Cup victory in Qatar, where he scored one goal and provided one assist in six appearances, earning a strong 7.11 rating from WhoScored.
A few days after Lionel Scaloni's team won the championship, journalist Roy Nemer praised his performance in the championship match versus France for being exceptionally strong.
He stated:
In the World Cup final, Alexis MacAllister was impossible to play. The skill, the intelligence. Incredible talent."
The former Argentinos Juniors player has also played a significant role in Roberto de Zerbi's team's success in the Premier League thus far this season. He has eight goals and one assist while averaging 7.08 in the league, which is better than everyone in Chelsea's lineup except for Reece James.
Would Mac Allister at Chelsea be an improvement over Mount?
Because of this, he might be a significant improvement over Mount at Stamford Bridge in the upcoming season, since the England international appears destined to go due to a contract dispute with his childhood club.
The Argentine international would seem to be the better long-term choice for the Blues if you compare the two midfielders' performances in the top flight thus far this season.
In 23 Premier League appearances this season, Mount has tallied just three goals and two assists, earning a much less remarkable average rating of 6.72.
This suggests that Mount would not be missed at Stamford Bridge should Boehly bring in Mac Allister as his replacement this summer. He has also averaged fewer shots (1.4 vs. 2.5), dribbles (0.7 vs. 1.2), and tackles (1.4 vs. 2.2) than the Brighton maestro.
