Liverpool Set to Quietly Secure Anfield Arrival of £70m Superstar, Evading Spotlight

In an exclusive interview with GIVEMESPORT, renowned Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor shared exciting news about Liverpool’s pursuit of Argentine talent Alexis Mac Allister. The Reds, having initially targeted Jude Bellingham, have shifted their focus to the midfield maestro from Brighton & Hove Albion, aiming to finalize the transfer even before the official opening of the summer transfer window.

As reported by The Daily Mirror, Liverpool is eager to secure Mac Allister’s services as part of their midfield reconstruction plans for the upcoming season. It is believed that Jürgen Klopp himself has displayed substantial interest in the highly talented player.

Liverpool’s pursuit of English international Bellingham has been overshadowed by the player’s imminent move to Real Madrid. Consequently, the Reds have been compelled to explore alternative midfield options, with Mac Allister emerging as a viable candidate.

Sources suggest that Liverpool is preparing for Mac Allister’s integration into their starting lineup, with an Anfield move seemingly on the horizon. However, Brighton’s demands could prove to be a significant hurdle, as the club is rumored to be quoting a staggering £70 million for the midfielder’s signature.

Despite the hefty price tag, there is a growing belief within Liverpool that the club is willing to meet Brighton’s demands and secure Mac Allister’s services this summer.

When asked about the potential transfer, Ryan Taylor stated, “It will be on Brighton’s terms. Mac Allister has a long-term contract, and I see them as a team that will encourage a bidding war to maximize the fee they receive. However, Liverpool prefers to operate discreetly, and I believe they will quietly wrap up the deal without making too much noise. Mac Allister looks set to go to Anfield.”

Considering Liverpool’s transfer history, a £70 million move for Mac Allister would not surpass their record-breaking signings. Darwin Núñez currently holds the title of Liverpool’s most expensive transfer, having joined from Benfica for £85 million last summer (Sky Sports). This surpassed the previous record set by Virgil Van Dijk, who arrived at Anfield from Southampton for a staggering £75 million in January 2018 (BBC Sport).

Should the proposed £70 million fee materialize, Mac Allister would likely become Liverpool’s third-most expensive signing to date. Fans on Merseyside overwhelmingly believe that he would be worth every penny invested in him.
