Liverpool have completed the signing of midfielder Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton on a five-year contract worth 35 million Pounds. The 24-year-old scored 20 goals in 112 appearances for the Seagulls and helped Argentina win the 2022 World Cup.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is looking to reinforce his midfield with James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all leaving Anfield this summer.
Mac Allister joined Brighton from Argentinos Juniors in January 2019 and immediately went back to the Buenos Aires club on loan.
He has played 16 times for Argentina and emerged as a key player during their third World Cup triumph in December.
Having sat out their opening defeat by Saudi Arabia, he started the next six games and starred in the final against France.
“I don’t doubt that this team will achieve many important things because they have the football skills and human quality to do it.
“I’ll always watch you and support you. Thanks a lot, Seagulls, you will always have a special place in my heart!”
