It's a matter of hours. Alexis Mac Allister, world champion with the Argentine National Team in Qatar 2022, will join the ranks of Liverpool, one of the giants of the Premier League, in exchange for a millionaire figure. In the next few hours, the midfielder will travel from the United States, where he is on vacation with his partner, to England, where he will undergo a medical examination and sign his contract.
Mac Allister, who a week ago said goodbye to Brighton after the end of the season, had expressed his desire to continue in the Premier League.
"I have no doubt that today is the best league to play in and that's why I'm aware that I would like my next club to be in the Premier League, I really enjoy being there and the truth is that people have always treated me 10 in the country and that for me is very important. He said in statements to the press
Pep Guardiola greets Alexis Mac Allister. He will continue to have him as a rival, but in a more powerful team.
And yes. The footballer formed in Argentinos Juniors and with a brief passage through Boca will fulfill the wish, since he will play in Liverpool, one of the teams that integrates the Big Six.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who specialises in the pass market, has a five-year contract with the club led by German Jürgen Klopp and will end in June 2028. The termination clause would be around £45/50 million and the medical study will be carried out in less than 48 hours.
In this way, Liverpool will stay with the Argentine, who was also wanted by the Chelsea of Mauricio Pochettino and Enzo Fernández. Of course, he will not be able to fulfill the dream, for now, of playing the Champions League. The Reds had a modest campaign in the Premier League and will play the Europa League alongside Brighton.
Of course, Mac Allister's extraordinary season at Brighton attracted the interest of the Reds. In the Seagulls, Alexis recorded 10 goals and two assists in 35 games played. However, his most important achievement was helping his team to play their first continental competition, the UEFA Europa League, in addition to his brilliant participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where he was confirmed as one of the best midfielders of today after having started as a substitute.
