Fabrizio Romano claims that Liverpool are close to completing the signing of Alexis MacAllister, who is expected to leave Brighton early in the summer transfer window
During the off-season, the 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield, with TyC Sports reporting that a ‘agreement is already complete’ between player and club.
Perhaps that report is a little premature, but the dependable Italian journalist believes the proposed move won’t take long to become official.
“Liverpool want to resolve final details of Alexis MacAllister deal as soon as possible to avoid competition; full agreement on personal terms is really close,” Romano wrote in his exclusive Substack column for CaughtOffside.
“Mac Allister’s plan is to leave Brighton early in the window, and the move could be done and sealed by June.”
With each new report about the Argentina midfielder and Liverpool in recent days, it appears that he could be the Reds’ first major signing of the summer transfer window.
According to Dean Jones of GIVEMESPORT, Brighton appear to have accepted that the 24-year-old will leave and are reportedly already looking for a replacement.
Even though the Seagulls appear to be well-placed to join the Anfield club in the Europa League next season, Mac Allister appears to be set on moving to Merseyside, and he could be a fantastic acquisition to kickstart the Jorg Schmadtke era.
Romano tweeted that the German will be in England in the coming days to sign the contract to become Liverpool’s sporting director, succeeding Julian Ward.
With that crucial off-field role potentially filled, and the Argentine looking increasingly likely to be the first signing of the 59-year-old’s reign, the Reds could be off to a great start this summer.
