Liverpool fans have a theory over a Fabio Carvalho loan deal to Brighton and Hove Albion in a bid to "sweeten" the Seagulls into the sale of Alexis Mac Allister.
The Reds are bracing themselves for a busy summer ahead of a proposed upheaval in the midfield ranks at Anfield. Jude Bellingham has been repeatedly linked with Jurgen Klopp's side but the club have moved to cool their interest in recent weeks as they look to recruit several options as opposed to spend a sizeable chunk of their transfer pot.
One of the names mooted is Brighton's Mac Allister. The Argentine has burst into the conversation after his scintillating performances on the south coast which were accompanied by his starring role in landing Lionel Messi a World Cup winners medal.
