Chelsea are reportedly sitting high on the list of potential suitors for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister as uncertainty grows over the Argentine player's future at Anfield. The Stamford Bridge outfit remains active in the market for midfield reinforcements following the departure of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City and a failed deadline-day pursuit of Monaco's Lamine Camara.
Transfer expert Mick Brown revealed that the Blues are closely tracking Mac Allister, noting that the midfielder brings vital Premier League experience and the competitive edge Chelsea currently require. "Mac Allister ticks a lot of boxes for them because he has got that bite and aggression to his game," Brown explained, highlighting his suitability for the squad.

Real Madrid have consistently monitored Alexis Mac Allister, with reports suggesting the midfielder has alternative options should he choose to run down his contract.
