According to reports, 24-year-old Alexis Mac Allister has already signed with Liverpool for this summer; however, his salary at Anfield remains unknown.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have allegedly activated the release clause that is stipulated in the contract of Brighton midfielder Mac Allister, who is scheduled to sign the final documents.
It is believed that the Reds paid no more than £35 million for the Argentina international, who was instrumental in his nation’s World Cup victory in Qatar.
Romano tweeted, “Liverpool has just acquired Alexis Mac Allister for… £35 million.”
“Reds have activated the clause to sign the midfielder subsequent to the completion of medical examinations with Brighton’s approval.”
“At present, documents are being signed.” “We are hereby confirmed.”
It now appears that a transfer announcement is imminent, as the midfielder is scheduled to join Jurgen Klopp on June 14, when the transfer window for English clubs opens.
However, what is the current status of Mac Allister’s new contract and what is his anticipated salary in Merseyside?
Football Insider reports that Mac Allister has been offered a contract worth over £150,000 per week, which is significantly more than his reported weekly salary of £50,000 at the Amex.
Spotrac ranks him joint-sixth on the club’s wage tab, alongside Alisson, following the likes of Fabinho, Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool are rumored to be focusing on additional targets in the midfield as a result of the departures of Arthur Melo, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita.
Preliminary reports indicate that Klopp is interested in Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram, 22, and Borussia Monchengladbach’s Manu Kone is also being considered by the club.
Recent sightings of the two individuals together subsequent to their participation in junior football for AC Boulogne-Billancourt of Paris and subsequently in the aforementioned French U21 squad have fueled rumors.
