The latest update from TyC Sports suggests that an agreement has been reached, although it is not yet official. Mac Allister is expected to play under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool in the upcoming season, with the reported transfer fee being close to £70 million.

Liverpool managed to secure Mac Allister’s signature ahead of Chelsea, who were also interested in signing the talented midfielder.

Mac Allister has been a standout performer for Brighton this season, contributing significantly to the team’s successful campaign. Additionally, he played a crucial role in Argentina’s triumph in the World Cup held in Qatar.

With James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita all set to leave Liverpool this summer, the club is seeking to revamp its midfield. Mac Allister’s arrival could mark the beginning of a busy transfer window for the Reds as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season
