Liverpool hope to conclude a deal with Brighton for Alexis Mac Allister before the Argentina midfielder heads off on international duty as they close in on their first transfer of the summer.
The Reds have been keen to move quickly following the end of an underwhelming campaign that saw them finish fifth in the Premier League - the lowest position of any full season under Jurgen Klopp - and Mac Allister has been earmarked as the priority.
Talks have now taken place between Liverpool and Brighton.
