Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given a fresh update on the transfer battle surrounding Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister.

The Argentine midfielder has become one of the Premier League's hottest commodities this season. Having won the World Cup in Qatar in December, Mac Allister is now back to helping Brighton continue their incredible challenge for a European spot.

The versatile 24-year-old has racked up eight goals and an assist in the Premier League this season and his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has skyrocketed accordingly, peaking at €33.2 million back in February. This has, unsurprisingly, aroused the interest of some of the Premier League's biggest hitters.

Indeed, Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are battling it out over the Brighton star's signature. Now, he has given an update on the situation - and one club's fans in particular will want to keep reading.

What did Romano say?

The Italian transfer guru reaffirmed his earlier reporting to his 14.4m Twitter followers and 1.58m YouTube subscribers while also providing some new information.

"For Chelsea," Romano said, "from what I understand, [he] is not the priority now. They know the conditions of the deal, but at the moment, Chelsea have different priorities. For Manchester United, it's one of the possibilities they have on their list for the midfield, but again, it depends on the club sale how much they can invest in a midfielder."

But for Liverpool, the situation is different: "Liverpool will have direct contact with Mac Allister's people very soon to present their project. Mac Allister is a player who is on Liverpool's list. This is the situation."

"From what I understand," the Italian reporter concluded, "Mac Allister will 100 per cent leave Brighton in the summer. The player has been very clear on that and it's something that was already discussed with the Brighton board...Mac Allister wants to move as soon as possible in the transfer window."
