Liverpool are ready to nearly triple the wages of Alexis Mac Allister as they prepare to make a move for the Argentine.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool could offer Alexis Mac Allister a bumper pay rise if he joins Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp wants the 24-year-old midfield general on priority as he looks to wrap up the signing of the Brighton star before pre-season.

Liverpool intends to revamp their midfield ahead of the new season, but several names are widely mentioned to join in. Mason Mount and Ryan Gravenberch have featured regularly, while many of their existing players will depart.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner have expiring contracts and are widely expected to depart. Jurgen Klopp wants options that would elevate the quality and wants to bring Alexis Mac Allister on priority.

The 24-year-old midfield general has been a revelation since joining Brighton. He has excelled first under Graham Potter and continued his progress with Roberto De Zerbi. The Argentine also won the World Cup late last year, which has led to a rise in his stock.

He is widely tipped to leave Brighton in the summer, with Liverpool considered the favourites. The Merseysiders have contacted his representatives, but a formal approach to Brighton remains pending.

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to offer Mac Allister a five-year deal. The most recent report claimed they could triple his salary. The Merseysiders could make a bumper contract offer, believed in the region of £150,000-a-week in wages.

That is a considerable rise, and a move could materialise, considering Mac Allister is open to joining Liverpool. The Argentine has scored 12 goals in all competitions and became the only the third midfielder to score 10 or more this season in the Premier League.

He has a long future ahead, and Klopp considers him ideal for Liverpool’s system. They plan to use Adam Lallana’s influence to convince the Argentine. However, the feeling is that the midfielder already considers a move to Anfield.

There have been others in the chase, but it may appear Liverpool are clear-cut favourites unless they fail to agree terms with Brighton. The Seagulls will likely demand a significant fee in return as the Argentine might become their record sale.
