Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has expressed a desire to remain in England amid reports that he will leave Brighton this summer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 24-year-old has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid, among other clubs, since playing a key role in Argentina's 2022 World Cup triumph in Qatar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"There isn't a particular team that makes me say, 'That is the way I play'," Mac Allister told Argentine media outlet TyC Sports on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I think that here in the Premier there are very strong teams that play attractive football, like Manchester City and Arsenal. Chelsea too. I had [Graham] Potter as a manager and I know the way he wants to play. Manchester United are getting back to where they were before and Liverpool are going through some ups and downs but still have a very good team."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mac Allister has made 94 appearances for Brighton - scoring 15 goals and providing six assists - since joining the club from Argentinos Juniors in 2016, a Xinhua report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His current contract is due to expire in June 2025 and the Seagulls have reportedly placed a 75 million-euro price tag (around 80 million US dollars) on the playmaker.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"If I have to say a place, I would like my next step to be in the Premier League. But the truth is that I am very focused here in Brighton and enjoying the present," Mac Allister added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
