Liverpool close in signing Alexis Mac Allister for under £70m

Liverpool fans will be excited to hear that the club is reportedly close to signing Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, personal terms with the Argentine midfielder are almost agreed upon, and talks between his representatives and Liverpool are progressing well.

Mac Allister is a talented attacking midfielder who has impressed at Brighton since joining the club in 2019. The 22-year-old has been on loan at Boca Juniors for the past year, where he has continued to develop his game. His performances have caught the attention of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is said to be keen to bring the youngster to Anfield.

One potential stumbling block in the negotiations was the absence of a release clause in Mac Allister’s contract with Brighton. However, it appears that Liverpool will pay an exit fee of under £70m to secure the player’s services. This fee is reportedly in line with a gentleman’s agreement between Brighton and Mac Allister’s representatives.

Assuming the deal goes through, Mac Allister would add depth and creativity to Liverpool’s midfield. He is a versatile player who can operate in a number of positions, including as an attacking midfielder and on the left wing. His technical ability, vision, and passing range would make him a valuable asset to Klopp’s side.

It remains to be seen whether the deal will be completed in time for Mac Allister to feature in Liverpool’s pre-season preparations, but a full agreement could reportedly be reachedby next week. Liverpool fans will be eagerly anticipating the announcement of this promising young talent’s arrival at Anfield.
