Even more reason for Mac to return, I’d be very surprised if he wasn’t back by the weekend, he could well be at the Amex on Saturday, just hopefully not still on the piss……

We know nothing about the terms of that contract.
It is fairly likely that it includes some kind of clause that limits how much Albion can get for him. Or it would have been frankly f***ing stupid for him to sign it.
But lets just not think too much about that.

Hopefully he’s back on his game post celebrations faster than our promotion winning team were.

Liverpool, Juventus, Benfica and Borussia Dortmund are interested in Brighton and Argentina star Alexis Mac Allister, 24, who may be available for between £31m and £35m. (La Repubblica - in Italian)

De Zerbi has said he will talk to MacAllister when he is back to discuss preferred positions as rumoured he wants to play more of the role we saw for Argentina than deeper lying midfielder. That would be taking Lallanas spot in the side which would leave us a gap in central midfield that perhaps Groß would pick up or we would need to recruit to fill

Benfica!! Surely after how they mucked us around with Nunez, our position, to them in particular, should be, "we want £30 million" (get them to nibble) and then with whatever they comeback with, tell them its gone up £20 million every time they open their mouth.

They are having a laugh if they think they can get him for that price unless written into his contract (and I can't see us setting a buyout for less than £50m). Don't want him to leave but I suspect he will by the summer and would have my blessing for anything north of £50m. Then we just find the next one and reinvest.
Yup it does, but if TB wants him in another country rather than in a competing club then Brighton might have to accept a lower fee than otherwise. But £35m is still low and not happening unless there is a really, really fat sell-on fee.

As poster says above, unless they know about a release clause (not detailed in article), then it’s basically utter bollocks.
So many of these articles are “top team wants good player” then their estimate of the player’s value, regardless of reality.
I doubt this is coming from Mac’s people, unlike the Bissouma/Cucurella stuff. It’s just clickbait journalism for the time being.

Agreed, and I suspect the clause would specifically mention a CL club as it's hardly beyond the realms of possibility that Ali Mac would want to play CL football and, irrespective of the length of the contract and his importance to B&HA, he's not going to get that here.
Neither Benfica or Dortmund would pay the fee we’d want. A transfer would have to be part of a player exchange with the likes of Ramos involved.
However, I suspect Mac would only want to be leaving for a bigger European club (EPL Big 6, PSG, Bayern, Real or Barca) unless we made it clear we need him out and want the money instead.

This is where our excellently run club comes to the fore. We don't NEED to sell. Or want to.
Just the opposite in fact.

Juventus' board resigned last month due to police investigations. Doubt they are in a position to buy anyone at the moment.
