After a remarkable campaign in which he played a significant role in Argentina's World Cup victory and helped the Seagulls qualify for Europe for the first time, Jurgen Klopp's team has signed the midfielder.
Since the first game of the previous season, Liverpool fans have been waiting for the renovation to begin.
A terrible season was had by Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Thiago, while James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left the club as free agents.
A Liverpool midfield that has gotten stale and has been in serious need of reinvigorating gets given some much-needed life and vitality by Mac Allister's arrival, presumably with two other future midfield acquisitions this summer.
After a year out of contention, Liverpool fans will be hoping Mac Allister and more additions will propel the Reds back into contention. They will be asking what can be expected of the Argentine World Cup winner to take the Reds to the next level.
Compared to the rest of their midfield, the most evident thing they can anticipate is goals. The 24-year-old scored more goals for Brighton last season (12) than the whole midfield of Liverpool managed throughout their unsuccessful campaign (10).
Six of his ten Premier League goals came from the penalty spot; Mohamed Salah could make it difficult for him to retain that position next year. He might possibly be a choice for
However, it is concerning that none of Henderson, Thiago, Fabinho, Milner, or Keita were able to score once in all competitions during the most recent campaign when the Reds desire to compete on all fronts like they did during the 2021–22 season.
If Mac Allister can keep up his remarkable goal total, it would be a welcome comeback as the last time a midfielder for Liverpool reached double digits was during Phillipe Coutinho's tenure with the team.
If Liverpool sticks with their new 3-4-3 inverted full back system with two No. 6s and two No. 10s in, or plays their traditional 4-3-3 formation, he could fill a variety of roles in the midfield thanks to his intelligence and tactical awareness.
