According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and team reporter Marco Guidi, Argentine midfielder McAllister has agreed to join Juve after communicating with his family, and the Bianconeri are ready to sell McKinney to free up transfer funds.
The article mentioned that Allegri was fascinated by McAllister’s performance in the World Cup, the 24-year-old Argentine international was also willing to join Juve, and he used the word “extraordinary” to describe the club when communicating with people around him.
However, McAllister’s reply is only the first step in the transfer, as Brighton will be released only if he receives a satisfactory offer, and Juve are well aware that some important sales must be completed to balance the accounts. at present, the main suspect to leave the team is American midfielder McKinney.
There are several Premiership clubs interested in McKinney and Juve plan to send him away to free up the necessary funds. Considering that Rabio is also likely to leave the team this summer, Juve are keen to bring in McAllister to fill the vacancy. Of course, the name of Lazio midfielder Milinkovich is also on the list.
At present, Brighton has not received an offer for McAllister, only from Atletico Madrid and other teams have expressed a simple interest, so Juve will not face fierce competition for the time being, but Brighton is not an easy seller. They hope to open an auction of McAllister next summer.
After the transfer rumours emerged, McAllister communicated with his closest family members, such as his father Carlos (the Argentine international in the 1990s) and some family agent friends. in the end, he thought that Juve was the right place to go, and McAllister’s mother Silvina was of Italian descent, so he already had an Italian passport.
