According to sources that spoke with Football Insider, Alexis Mac Allister has decided to leave Brighton this summer and join Liverpool.
The World Cup champion, 24, and the Merseysiders have reached an understanding on personal terms, and negotiations with the south coast club are nearing completion on a sum of about £60 million.
After waving emotional goodbye to Brighton supporters following their Premier League match at Aston Villa last Sunday, Mac Allister has decided to make what will be a box office shift to Anfield.
An agreement on a deal worth more than £150,000 per week is thought to have been reached after Liverpool representatives met with Mac Allister’s representatives.
The international player from Argentina reportedly makes £50,000 per week on a contract that expires in June 2025.
According to a reliable Reds source, the deal is now “99% done” and all that’s left are the paperwork.
Early in June is when the agreement is anticipated to be disclosed.
Mac Allister is on his way, and his representatives have been laying the framework for a contract for months, according to Seagulls manager Roberto De Zerbi, who hasn’t tried to disguise that fact.
The Argentine recently played a crucial role in Brighton achieving first-ever European qualification.
Jurgen Klopp has authorised a costly transfer to Liverpool as he plans a major makeover of a midfield that struggled throughout a poor season.
Senior players Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, and Thiago Alcantara are all over the age of 29, while James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have already announced their departures.
