Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that Liverpool are close to agreeing on a deal to sign Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
The Italian journalist posted overnight that the Reds could soon complete the capture of the 24-year-old Argentine, with Liverpool eager to bring Mac Allister to Anfield as early as possible ahead of the summer transfer window.
Mac Allister has been one of the best midfielders in the Premier League this season having led Brighton to European football for the first time in the club’s history. And Liverpool now look primed to bring the South American superstar to Merseyside for the new season.
And this update from Romano will be viewed by Liverpool supporters as a big step in the right direction, with Mac Allister’s signing likely to be the first of many the Reds make this summer as Jurgen Klopp aims to rebuild his squad to compete for the Premier League title.
Mac Allister joining Liverpool is the perfect start to the transfer window
Mac Allister has enjoyed a year like no other having pushed Brighton to a UEFA Europa League finish as well as winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina. And the midfielder making the move to Liverpool is a transfer that will suit all parties ahead of the new season.
Moreover, for Klopp, signing Mac Allister as early as expected is the perfect way to start the window, with the 24-year-old the exact sort of player that the Reds need if they’re to rebuild their midfield from the ground up and to compete for silverware once again next season.
