UPDATE May 10: A previous version of this article stated that Moises Caicedo had a similar clause in his contract. This was based on a misunderstanding and has been removed.
Clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool will be on high alert with the news that Alexis Mac Allister's contract could aide a move away from Brighton this summer – despite signing a new deal in October.
According to David Ornstein of the Athletic, Alexis Mac Allister has a "complex" clause in his current contract, which will enable him to leave for a bigger club in the summer.
"It is understood the terms [of Mac Allister's contract] do, indeed, contain a mechanism which can be used to help facilitate a move and that has contributed to the level of interest building to prise Mac Allister from Brighton," Ornstein reports. "As a result, the situation is not a foregone conclusion… although that could well materialise – the same applies to team-mate Moises Caicedo – but firm decisions are unlikely to be made until the campaign ends."
This clause does not apply to Caicedo's new contract, with the Ecuadorian a major target for Arsenal.
The likes of Liverpool and Chelsea have also been interested in both Caicedo and Mac Allister.
