In a significant transfer move, Liverpool is set to welcome Alexis Mac Allister to their ranks, pending a successful medical examination. The Argentinian midfielder’s contract with Liverpool is believed to span until June 2028, indicating the club’s long-term commitment to his talent. The agreement between the two parties necessitates Liverpool’s payment of Mac Allister’s buyout clause in his current contract with Brighton. Following the completion of this deal, Liverpool will shift their attention to pursuing other midfield targets, as they continue their efforts to rebuild this crucial area of their team.

Mac Allister’s medical assessment is scheduled to take place within the next 48 hours. Notably, the buyout clause present in his contract, signed weeks before his participation in the World Cup, proves to be significantly lower than the previously rumored £60 million figure. This agreement ensures that Mac Allister will remain with Liverpool for the next two seasons, with an additional one-year option for the club to exercise.

Among the other players identified as potential targets on Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp’s list are Manu Koné, a 22-year-old midfielder from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Khéphren Thuram, also 22, who currently represents Nice. Both players have showcased their abilities on the international stage, having previously represented France at various junior levels. Thuram, in particular, earned his first senior cap earlier this year. Gabri Veiga from Celta, a promising 21-year-old talent, has also attracted admiration from Klopp; however, no discussions have been held regarding the young midfielder.

Mac Allister, who made his debut for Brighton in March 2020, is poised to become Liverpool’s inaugural signing since the appointment of Jörg Schmadtke as the club’s sporting director for the summer transfer window. Brighton may also suffer the departure of Moisés Caicedo, who has attracted interest from several clubs, including Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Brighton themselves are on the verge of announcing the acquisitions of James Milner and Mo Dahoud. Milner, whose contract with Liverpool expires this month, will join Brighton as a new addition to their squad. Additionally, Mo Dahoud, the midfielder currently at Borussia Dortmund, will depart the German club upon the expiration of his contract, with Brighton eagerly awaiting his arrival.

With these ongoing developments, Liverpool and Brighton are actively shaping their respective squads for the upcoming season. The transfer market continues to buzz with anticipation, as fans eagerly await further announcements and the exciting football that lies ahead.
