Mac Allister’s Release Clause: A Clue to the Bargain Deal
According to reliable sources at The Athletic, Mac Allister’s contract includes a strategic clause aimed at facilitating a potential move.
Reportedly incorporated when he signed an extension with Brighton until 2025 back in October, this clause is not a mere one-sided release clause that strips Brighton of any control.
Instead, it grants Brighton a say in the negotiations, ultimately resulting in Mac Allister’s transfer fee plummeting to an astonishingly low £35 million.
Having undergone his medical examination on Tuesday evening, the midfielder is eager to finalize the deal promptly and kickstart Liverpool’s summer with a bang.
