Alexis Mac Allister to Juventus: player and club put on the brakes

An operation that seemed downhill, but is proving less easy than expected.

Alexis Mac Allister ended up at the center of Juventus’ attention after a high-level World Cup played with Argentina (and the Cup final victory). The Bianconeri’s deal to take him over from Brighton, however, is seeing new difficulties emerge with all sides.

“My concentration is all on Brighton, I have no eagerness to leave at all. I am extremely happy here, and I enjoy every day,” Mac Allister told ‘Sky Sports UK’. In recent days there had been talk of his possible yes already being found at Juventus.

The club, in turn, made it clear that it was in no hurry to sell Mac Allister “We have not offered any player to any club, and we do not intend to do so,” Paul Barber, Brighton’s chief executive, told ‘The Argus’ instead. “The next 30 days are unpredictable, and we will see what happens. We are happy with our team, but also realistic.”
