Liverpool has presented Alexis Mac Allister as their first signing for the new season. The Argentine midfielder comes directly from Brighton & Hove Albion. At The Seagulls, Mac Allister had a limited buyout clause in his contract.
On Thursday morning, The Reds announced the arrival of Mac Allister. The Argentine attacking midfielder has signed a four-year contract at Anfield, where he is expected to become one of the faces of the new Liverpool.
Jürgen Klopp's team missed out on Champions League football this season by finishing in fifth place and seems poised for a renovation. Players like Roberto Firmino and James Milner are expected to seek new clubs, and the club will be active in the transfer market. With Mac Allister, they have secured their first signing.
Liverpool was not the only club interested in Mac Allister's services, as the Argentine was linked to many English clubs in January. In the end, The Reds acted the most decisively and swiftly, leading the 24-year-old footballer to choose Liverpool. Liverpool has not made any statements regarding the buyout clause, but according to English media, it is believed to be the same buyout clause that Mac Allister had in his contract with Brighton, estimated to be around forty million euros.
