Benzema LEAVES Real Madrid, Messi PSG exit CONFIRMED, Mac Allister to Liverpool, Ugarte to Chelsea

Good morning footy fans

Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister appears to be closing in on a summer move to Liverpool.

Mac Allister’s father and agent is expected to finalise personal terms after flying to England to speak to the Reds’ representatives.

Rumours suggest a deal between the midfielder and the Merseysiders could be completed next week if things go to plan.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has received an astonishing transfer offer from Saudi Arabia worth around £1billion.

According to Foot Mercato, Messi could double Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo’s Middle Eastern salary if he agrees to move to Al-Hilal.

However, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is said to prefer Barcelona and the La Liga champions are said to have enlisted the help of Manchester United legend David Beckham.

According to L’Equipe, Barca are considering a plan which would see Beckham’s Inter Miami signing the star forward before loaning him to the Catalan giants.

The Argentina international’s loan would last for either six or 18 months before moving permanently to the MLS.

The 35-year-old is set to leave PSG on June 30 when his contract runs out, and even missed the club’s title celebrations to attend a Coldplay gig in Barcelona.

And Leeds are keeping tabs on Luton boss Rob Edwards as well as Lorient manager Regis Le Bris as they target a quick return to the Premier League, reports SunSport’s Kostas Lianos.

SunSport understand club chiefs have drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates to replace Sam Allardyce.

Edwards led a stunning campaign that saw Luton finishing third in the Championship before booking their place in England’s top flight for the first time since 1992.

Le Bris, on the other hand, has also shone brightly in Ligue 1 during his first-ever season as a senior manager.

The Ligue 1 outfit’s former academy coach has impressed with his attacking football that saw his team climb to second place behind PSG at some point throughout the campaign.

Finally, Tottenham star Hugo Lloris revealed he wants to leave in the summer after reaching the “end of an era” in North London.

Lloris told Nice–Matin: “We have reached an important moment, whether it be for the club or me.

“It’s the end of an era. I have a desire for something else. I will carefully study what is possible.

“However, I haven’t forgotten that I have a year left on my contract at Tottenham, and in football, it’s always hard to predict what will happen.

“The most important thing is I find a project where I thrive.”
