Liverpool are ready to shelve their interest in Mason Mount after sealing the capture of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
The World Cup -winning midfielder, 24, became the Reds' first summer signing on Thursday after finalising a deal which will net the Seagulls an initial £45million. It's highly unlikely, however, that Mac Allister will be the only midfielder that Jurgen Klopp acquires ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Liverpool's engine room was heavily criticised last season and is in need of a refresh. The Reds headed into the summer break with the intention of signing at least two midfielders, with Mac Allister and Mount at the top of Klopp's wishlist.
