Chelsea has included Alexis Mac Allister, a 27-year-old midfielder from Liverpool, among its top priorities for this summer transfer market. The Chelsea transfer market aims to build a competitive squad to win the Premier League.

The team led by Xabi Alonso is considering making a formal offer valued at 70 million pounds if Merseyside authorities open the door to his transfer, in a bidding war where Real Madrid is also involved.

Chelsea wants to sign Alexis Mac Allister

Chelsea's recruitment team is monitoring Alexis Mac Allister after previously considering Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace and Alex Scott from Bournemouth as alternatives. Coach Xabi Alonso is seeking a player to complement Enzo Fernández in midfield, based on their performance together for the Argentina national team.

Initially valued at 70 million pounds, the transfer of the midfielder from Liverpool could rise to 80 million pounds. This amount is based on the recent sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City for 116 million pounds, setting a higher financial benchmark for negotiations with a direct Premier League rival.

Andoni Iraola's refusal to sell Alexis Mac Allister

The stance of Liverpool's coach, Andoni Iraola, poses the main obstacle to Chelsea's planned operation. The Basque coach has publicly stated his intention to keep the player at Anfield, prioritizing reinforcements after only finalizing Victor Muñoz's signing.

Although the London club remains attentive in case Red Bull decides to capitalize on the international player before the market closes, Iraola's reluctance complicates any immediate agreement. The red club's strategist aims to safeguard the core of the squad ahead of the official season start.

Chelsea will keep channels open with Alexis Mac Allister until the deadline on September 1st.

Stamford Bridge's board will evaluate whether to make the first formal offer or to activate the option for Alex Scott before the start of the season, depending on whether Liverpool softens its stance on negotiations.
