It is no secret that Liverpool are currently pursuing a deal for World Cup hero Alexis Mac Allister.
The Argentine came of age in 2022/23, going from underdog to world champion while establishing himself as a household name in the Premier League. A teary farewell to Brighton supporters after their final-day defeat to Aston Villa was the biggest indication that he will be plying his trade elsewhere next season.
While the Seagulls are renowned as a selling club, they also drive a hard bargain. Reports suggest Tony Bloom has slapped a £60million price tag on Mac Allister - a price Liverpool are likely prepared to pay to fix their midfield headache.
