Liverpool are closing in on a deal for Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister - and have beaten great rivals Manchester United to his signature in the process.
The Argentine midfielder is on the verge of completing a move to Anfield and is expected to undergo a medical with the Reds before going through the formalities of the move. Mac Allister will become Liverpool ’s first signing of what is expected to be a busy summer window for Jurgen Klopp and new sporting director Jorg Schmadkte.
Whilst the club hierarchy will be delighted to kick-off the club’s rebuild with the World Cup winner’s arrival, there is also a huge bonus behind the deal - that Man United can’t sign him. According to The Athletic, the Red Devils had looked at Mac Allister ahead of a potential swoop.
