The Argentine midfielder also agreed to the terms of a five-year contract with Liverpool. On June 5, Mac Allister went to Anfield for a medical checkup, spoke directly with coach Jurgen Klopp and signed a contract. The official announcement will be by the end of the week at the latest.
Chelsea and Man Utd are also negotiating with Brighton, but Mac Allister prefers to go to Liverpool. The 24-year-old midfielder wants to close his future before joining the Argentina team from next week to prepare for two friendly matches against Australia in Beijing, China on June 15, and Indonesia at Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta on May 6/ 19.
Mac Allister will be Liverpool's first rookie in the summer 2023 transfer window. Klopp wants to "change blood" to the squad when Liverpool finish fifth in the Premier League and miss the Champions League next season. In particular, the German coach prioritized renewing the midfield when Naby Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner all left the club because of their contracts, and Arthur Melo returned to Juventus when the loan term expired.
After completing the Mac Allister deal, Liverpool also want to recruit Khephren Thuram, a 22-year-old midfielder from Nice, and Manu Kone, a French midfielder on the M'Gladbach payroll. Specializing in Transfers provides currently valued Thuram at $35 million and Kone at $32 million.
Mac Allister joined Brighton from Argentinos Juniors in January 1, but played for the Argentine club in the second half of that season. He continued to wear Boca Juniors on loan for the first leg of the 2019-2019 season, and officially landed at Amex in January 2020.

This season, the Argentine midfielder sublimated with 12 goals in all competitions, making a great contribution to Brighton finishing sixth in the Premier League to attend the European Cup for the first time in its 121-year history. In total, Mac Allister scored 20 and assisted nine goals in 112 games for Brighton.
Mac Allister also resonated when he started six matches, including the final victory over France on penalties, in the journey with Argentina to conquer the 2022 World Cup.
