Liverpool is optimistic that it will recruit Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton after making a contract offer to the Argentine.
As they strive to close a deal before the start of the summer, Mac Allister appears to be the Reds’ major priority throughout the transfer window. And as of right now, Liverpool are “feeling hopeful” that the 24-year-old will join them, writes journalist Ben Jacobs for CaughtOffside.
Alexis Mac Allister is being considered by Liverpool as they aim to bolster their midfield, according to Jacobs. “According to my sources, they feel good about approaching the player side. As mentioned before in this column, several clubs are keeping an eye on Mason Mount’s position because they think he might be a possibility.
Therefore, good news. Although Ryan Gravenberch, a different possible Reds target, received a word of caution from Jacobs.
He added that Ryan Gravenberch was well-liked and that Liverpool had a historical stake in him. “One will depend on Thomas Tuchel, I feel. Bayern’s present position is that they don’t want to sell, despite Gravenberch’s openness to a move.
Jacobs sabotages Ugarte’s links
Liverpool’s summer goals are starting to become more obvious as the season draws to a close. As things stand, Mac Allister, Mount, and Gravenberch seem to be the three most likely to join.
In recent weeks, Manuel Ugarte of Sporting has been connected more frequently than any other player.
Jacobs also provides an update on these sites. The writer casts doubt on the rumours that Ugarte is moving to Anfield, just like we’ve seen from a few other outlets this week.
Following some eye-catching performances this season, Manuel Ugarte has been the subject of considerable discussion, according to Jacobs. “The Uruguayan midfielder is the first thing to stay, according to Ruben Amorim. Even despite the manager’s preferences, a summer transfer is extremely likely because Sporting are willing to deal. In addition, Ugarte has a £52 million release clause.
“One of Ugarte’s agents, Jorge Chiljane, did promote Liverpool links while also pointing out that there are other interested parties. Three Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Ugarte, and Jorge Mendes will be handling his future this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. But according to what I understand, Liverpool is not one of those teams. They have made no progress, and numerous insiders close to the club strongly doubt that Ugarte will end up playing at Anfield.
All of this could, of course, be bluster coming from the concerned parties. Like other clubs, Liverpool is known for using a fair amount of smoke and mirrors when it comes to the transfer market. However, they might also be giving the whole truth. We’ll assume it’s true for the time being.
We anticipate Mac Allister and Mount to be the only two midfielders Liverpool signs this summer, if any. In the event of a third, Gravenberch appears to be the most likely candidate. We wouldn’t mind if other fans held different opinions; we’d be content with that. pleasant emotions, certainly.
