Breaking: Liverpool sign Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton

Liverpool have completed the signing of Argentina midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister, from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, made the disclosure via a tweet on his Twitter account on Wednesday, June 7.

Romano tweeted: “Liverpool have just signed Alexis Mac Allister for £35 million.

“Reds have now triggered the clause to sign the midfielder after medical tests completed with Brighton’s permission.

“Documents are being signed. Here we go confirmed.”

The 24-year-old midfielder’s arrival would begin what looks set to be a busy summer at Anfield, with Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, looking to freshen up a side that missed out on Champions League qualification this season.

Midfield is a particular area of need for Liverpool, with Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner all leaving the club with their contracts expiring, while Arthur Melo will return to Juventus at the end of his loan deal.

Brighton finished just one place behind Liverpool in the Premier League and will play in Europe for the first time next season.

Mac Allister joined Brighton from Argentinos Juniors in January 2019 but spent the rest of that season with the Argentinian club, before spending the first half of the 2019/20 campaign on loan at Boca Juniors.

Mac Allister finally moved to the Amex in January 2020 and went on to play 112 times for Brighton, scoring 20 goals and claiming nine assists.

He enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2022/23, scoring 12 goals in all competitions as he became a key part of Roberto De Zerbi’s impressive team.

Mac Allister also established himself in Argentina’s midfield during the World Cup in November and December 2022, starting six games – including the final – as Lionel Scaloni’s team won the tournament in Qatar.
