We have our doubts.And these stem chiefly from new boss Andoni Iraola’s comments on Alexis Mac Allister’s future: “Alexis has been one of the best at this club in years, look at the World Cup, it’s normal other clubs want the best players.
Of course, Chelsea’s recruitment team might argue that the Basque is actively working to protect the No.10’s market value.Personally, we’re inclined to trust the sincerity of Iraola’s comments to the press. That’s especially at a time when Liverpool seem to be really lagging on making any further incomings beyond the early signing of Victor Munoz.Either way, even if we are open to Mac Allister being on the market, we strongly suspect that Elliot Anderson’s £116m move to Manchester City might influence our pricing.
