Brighton & Hove Albion majority owner Tony Bloom has admitted he regrets selling Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool.

The Reds signed the Argentina international in a £35m deal in the summer of 2023.

Mac Allister, who won the World Cup while a Seagulls player, has thrived since moving to Anfield.



Meanwhile, his form in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign last season saw him named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

Brighton have sold a number of high-profile players to leading Premier League sides in recent years, including Joao Pedro, Moises Caicedo, Leandro Trossard, Marc Cucurella and Yves Bissouma.

And Bloom has admitted that Mac Allister is the one he wishes most was still at Brighton.

Mac Allister might have left Brighton as a World champion when he signed for Liverpool in 2023, but he recently admitted how close he came to quitting the clu three years earlier.

The Seagulls signed the 26-year-old from Argentinos Juniors in January 2019, but stayed with the club on loan until the end of the 2018/19 Premier League season.

He was then sent on loan to Boca Juniors for the 2019/20 campaign, only to be recalled by Brighton the following January.

He made his debut for the club against Wolves in March 2020, in what would prove to be the Seagulls' last match until the Premier League’s restart the following June due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Mac Allister has revealed he was desperate to leave Brighton in December 2020, and even had offers from Spain and Russia.
