Representatives of Brighton & Hove Albion’s star midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister, have informed Liverpool officials that the talented Argentina World Cup winner is eager to play under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp. Talks regarding the player’s personal terms are already at an advanced stage, indicating significant progress in the potential transfer.
Following Liverpool’s unsuccessful pursuit of Jude Bellingham, the Borussia Dortmund and England sensation, Mac Allister has emerged as Klopp’s primary target to strengthen the midfield. Despite signing a new contract with Brighton in October, the agreement included provisions allowing him to explore other opportunities.
Mac Allister played a pivotal role in Brighton’s successful campaign, helping them secure a remarkable sixth-place finish in the Premier League and qualification for the Europa League. Alongside his achievements at the club level, his involvement in Argentina’s victory in the 2022 World Cup has further amplified interest from other Premier League teams, who recognize his exceptional talent.
Emotions ran high for Mac Allister after Brighton’s final match of the season against Aston Villa, where he was seen shedding tears at the end of the game. This poignant moment could potentially mark his farewell appearance for the Seagulls, as the player contemplates a new chapter in his career.
Moreover, Mac Allister may not be the only star bidding farewell to Brighton, as speculation links Moises Caicedo with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea. Manager Roberto De Zerbi acknowledged in his post-match interview that both players could be on their way out of the club. “I think it can be the last game for Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo,” he stated, hinting at their potential departures.
