      Mac Allister has been an important member of the Brighton team this season that has found itself challenging for a spot in Europe.
      The 24-year-old was also impressive for Argentina during the World Cup in Qatar as he helped the team all the way to the trophy.
      And now the player could make a move away from the south coast according to his dad.
      He told TyC Sports: “For now he’s in Brighton.

      “He’s enjoying success in peace, in a team that loves him very much.
      “He feels very well in the club, but we all know that in July there are serious chances he could leave”.
      Mac Allister’s father, who used to play as a left back for Boca Juniors, is his agent.
      Chelsea are interested in signing him from Brighton, as Graham Potter worked with him when he was the manager at the club.

      However, they will have to fight off competition from Serie A giants Juventus who have been heavily linked with an interest in him.
      Brighton will not let their star midfielder move cheap and will be expecting a top price in order to sell him.
      The Seagulls have a great record when it comes to selling players in recent years, earning bigs sums from stars such as Ben White, Marc Cucurella and Yves Bissouma.
      The club are also likely to lose Moises Caicedo this summer, so will be less in a position to accommodate teams wanting to poach their talent. More

      Qatari Man Utd bidder’s father ‘is ex-Prime Minister with former World Cup organiser set to be named chairman’

      by

      DEADLINE day is upon those who are interested in taking over Manchester United. Interest from a number of parties has been revealed ahead of Friday’s 10pm cut-off point, most notably from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar.

      Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani is behind the massive bid for United from Qatar
      Qatar’s bid in particular has raised questions, given how Qatar Sports Investment already own Paris Saint-Germain.
      Uefa rules stipulate “no individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition”.
      However, one incoming United bid from Qatar is set to come from a different entity, therefore satisfying Uefa chiefs that no rules are broken.
      The entity in question emerged on Friday as Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, son of former Prime Minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani.

      The pair are directly related to the current Emir of Qatar, and owner of PSG, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
      Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani was responsible for the Gulf state’s successful bid for the 2022 World Cup.
      The 63-year-old has also been labelled as “the man who bought the city” following his massive investment into London real estate.
      Son, Sheikh Jassim, is head of Qatar’s biggest bank and a self-proclaimed lifelong United fan.

      If a bid is successful, two World Cup organisers could be in the reckoning to run the mammoth operation that is Manchester United FC.
      L’Equipe journalist Loïc Tanzi has reported Qatar World Cup CEO Nasser al-Khater and Secretary General Hassan Al-Thawadi would be in the running to take over roles as club CEO or president.
      The bidding for United could see the winner forced to meet the Glazers’ £6bn asking price, with investment into the club’s infrastructure including stadium and training facilities factoring in as additional costs.
      Regardless, Uefa have been called upon to block any proposed Qatar bid for the club by human rights group FairSquare. More

      She said: “I usually don’t take everything that they offer me, because I like to work with brands who I like, and not many of them, because I like to present what I really like, not just what is paid to me.”
      She continued: “About OnlyFans, I remember during the World Cup I got like probably ten calls per day, and maybe 20 emails about opening an OnlyFans.”

      Ivana added: “I don’t judge, I’m just not that kind of person. It’s not for me.
      “I tried to explain that it’s not about money always, I care about reputation.”

      Now the England defender is being rewarded for his vision.
      The 24-year-old’s latest annual accounts up to the end of March 2022 show assets of £3,658,911 – an increase of more than £1.5m from the previous financial year.
      TAA joined his hometown club aged six and has long been known for his wise head on young shoulders.
      As a kid, he made a small fortune selling clothes worn by Liverpool and Everton players, saying the profits went to buying his parents a house.

      And in 2019 he signed an extension to his boot deal with Under Armour in 2019, reportedly worth £6.4m over four years.
      On the pitch, Alexander-Arnold has won seven major honours since breaking into the Reds’ first team.
      The first of those was the 2019 Champions League, followed by the Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup.
      His first domestic honour was the 2019-20 Premier League title before Liverpool won both the League Cup and FA Cup in 2021-22 then secured the Community Shield.

      The full-back and Calvin Klein model remains the No1 choice for Jurgen Klopp, who has repeatedly defended some question marks over his ace’s defensive abilities.
      Alexander-Arnold has racked up more than 250 appearances for his boyhood club and represented England at two World Cups – but missed the Euro 2020 tournament through injury.
      He managed just 34 minutes at the 2022 World Cup, though, as he found himself behind Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker in the pecking order with Reece James out injured. More
