Argentine media report Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool transfer ‘complete’
Reliable reports from Argentina suggest that Alexis Mac Allister will be joining Liverpool, as the transfer deal is said to be complete. The terms have been agreed upon, and Liverpool will pay a fee to Brighton for the acquisition of the midfielder. Although the current season is not yet over, Jurgen Klopp and his team are already making progress in shaping their squad for the upcoming campaign.
Liverpool's recent 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, in which Roberto Firmino scored his last goal at Anfield, has virtually secured their place in the Europa League for next season. Contrary to previous claims made by The Athletic's Brighton reporter Andy Naylor, stating that Mac Allister would only join a club in the Champions League, it appears that this is not the case.
Respected journalist Gaston Edul from TyC Sports, based in Mac Allister's native Argentina, has stated that the deal to bring him to Liverpool is already complete. Mac Allister is expected to sign a multi-year contract, which was previously reported to extend until 2028. The transfer fee is believed to be close to £70 million. Liverpool is said to have won the race for his signature, beating out competition from Chelsea. Edul further explained on Twitter that several Premier League teams were interested in the midfielder.
Negotiations between Liverpool and Mac Allister have reportedly been ongoing for a considerable amount of time. The player's agent and father, Carlos, confirmed in April that talks had commenced regarding a possible move. The details of Mac Allister's contract at Brighton were somewhat unclear, with The Athletic's David Ornstein mentioning the existence of a release clause. Meanwhile, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that he had been informed of a fixed price for Mac Allister's exit in June. However, Romano noted that the deal was not yet finalized, as personal terms were still being worked out. Nonetheless, it is reasonable to assume that TyC Sports has more up-to-date information on the situation.
Speaking on FIVE earlier in the week, Ornstein expressed confidence in Mac Allister's potential move to Liverpool, and GOAL's Neil Jones shared a similar sentiment on The Redmen TV. Jones stated that by the end of the month, there should be a clearer picture of Mac Allister's destination and how close Liverpool is to completing the deal. He emphasized that Mac Allister is a player who is high on Liverpool's list of targets.
If the reports from TyC Sports are accurate, then the pieces are falling into place for a transfer that could potentially be finalized after the final day of the season on May 28. Liverpool's pursuit of Alexis Mac Allister appears to be nearing its conclusion, as they continue their preparations for the future under Jurgen Klopp.
