Alexis Mac Allister's agent will arrive in England next week with Liverpool's attempts to sign the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder "well advanced."
That's the claim being made by Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo, who has given his 252,000 Twitter followers an update on the Reds' pursuit of the World Cup winner.
Liverpool have earmarked Mac Allister as one of their primary targets for the summer transfer window. But earlier this week we reported that they are facing competition from both Manchester City and Manchester United for the 24-year-old, who starred for Argentina in their World Cup victory in Qatar.
