Liverpool are planning fresh talks to secure the signing of Alexis Mac Allister before the summer window, with the player keen to join.
According to Football Insider, Alexis Mac Allister remains keen to join Liverpool ahead of the new season. The Merseysiders want the 24-year-old Brighton star on priority and will hold fresh talks to seal the move early and well before the transfer window opens.
Alexis Mac Allister’s stock continues to rise after yet another decisive game for Brighton. The Argentine World Cup winner notched his 11th goal of the season with a last-gasp penalty to win against Manchester United in midweek. He will continue to play for the remainder of the season, but this may be his final game for the Seagulls.
Brighton are anticipating big money offers for the 24-year-old in the summer, with a host of clubs keen. Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City have shown interest in the World Cup winner, but the Merseysiders seemingly have the upper hand.
Liverpool have stepped up their efforts to sign the 24-year-old in the last weeks. There has been dialogue between all parties involved, with the Reds looking to agree on terms with the midfielder well before the window opens. They are, in fact, keen to seal the transfer before the campaign ends, as Jurgen Klopp wants the star before pre-season.

Liverpool have already offered a contract proposal, something many expect Mac Allister to accept. The Argentine remains keen to join the Merseysiders and want to move ahead of the queue, considering the interest of rivals.
Manchester United have kept tabs on the 24-year-old, with Erik ten Hag eager to land a player of his calibre. The Red Devils might consider defeat in the pursuit as they might know of the advanced nature of Liverpool’s pursuit. They had previously lost out on Cody Gakpo in January, and the scenario might repeat.
Meanwhile, Liverpool could hold fresh talks with the player’s camp to get an agreement on personal terms. After that, they will sit down with Brighton to discuss a fee for the Argentine star. The Seagulls will demand a significant amount, something the Merseysiders are open to paying.
