Alexis Mac Allister is still to physically arrive at Brighton & Hove Albion, since he’s currently playing the Pre-Olympic tournament for Argentina.
And it turns out the more Boca Juniors fans see of him with the national team, the more it hurts them to see such a good player leaving the club sooner than expected.
Mac Allister featured in Argentina’s 3-2 win over Uruguay last night, and was selected as the man of the match after scoring two goals.
The first one, from a free kick, had a little help from the opposition goalkeeper. But the second one came from a long shot, which has become one of his specialities in his short career.
“I try to be focused on the present, as I always did. I am aware of everything that was talked about. I think I’ve cleared things up. It is best to be thinking about this tournament,” Mac Allister told TyC (via El Intransigente).
El Intransigente writes that Brighton first offered US$500k to cut his spell short, but Boca Juniors turned down the bid, later accepting a new offer of US$800k.
