completing his much-hyped transfer to Liverpool from Brighton.
The Argentine World Cup-winning midfielder was officially unveiled as Jurgen Klopp’s first signing of what is expected to be a busy summer transfer window on Thursday, having put pen to paper on what is understood to be a five-year contract at Anfield and passed a medical.
It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true, it’s amazing to be here and I can’t wait to get started,” Mac Allister told Liverpool’s official website in his first interview
Mac Allister will receive the coveted no10 shirt at Liverpool that has been vacant since Sadio Mane’s departure to Bayern Munich last summer, with the Reds said to have triggered a complex release clause in his Brighton contract reportedly worth as little as £35million.
The 24-year-old is unlikely to be the only major midfield arrival on Merseyside this summer as Klopp instigates a rebuild in that area that many fans feel is long overdue, with Liverpool having gone from title contenders to missing the top four and Champions League qualification altogether during a difficult 2022-23 campaign.
The club are believed to have held talks with Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram of Nice, with the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departing at the end of their respective contracts
