The star of Qatar 2022, the international from Argentina, moves to Anfield for what is thought to be an initial price of about $35. It may increase to £55m, according to sources.
Argentinos Juniors' Mac Allister was acquired, and he spent four years at Brighton, including two loan stints back in his native country.
He was reportedly a top target for Liverpool before the World Cup, and the club values his adaptability, according to Sky Sports News.
The 24-year-old's arrival is likely to mark the start of what appears to be a hectic summer at Anfield, where Jurgen Klopp is aiming to retool a team that failed to qualify for the Champions League this season.
Since Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner all have expiring contracts and Arthur Melo will be returning to Juventus at the end of his loan, midfield is a specific area of need for Liverpool.
Milner will soon relocate to Brighton after completing his switch to the Amex.

Jude Bellingham has long been regarded as the answer because of this. A Klopp midfield at its best consists of players who can tackle, pass, and shoot as well as defend and attack. All of that is possible with Mac Allister. When I spoke with him in January, he was fully conscious of his
"I always say that I like to be in contact with the ball," he said in a statement to Sky Sports. "I feel better the closer I go to the ball. I enjoy playing in the midfield. Whether it is a 6, an 8, or a 10 is irrelevant. As a child, I was a ten. However, I eventually realized that I could play in additional positions.
"I believe it is critical for today's players to be able to play multiple positions so that the team and manager have a variety of options. Even while I know I can play as a 6 or a 10, if you asked me, I would respond that today I feel more at ease as an 8.
