According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have offered an “important contract” to one of their primary targets as they prepare for the departures of James Milner, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose contracts will expire at the end of the season.
The Reds are reportedly on the lookout for at least two big-name midfield additions to bolster their squad and get back to challenging for the Premier League title. Romano has provided a positive update on the club’s pursuit of Alexis Mac Allister, but it is unclear if he is the target referred to in the report. The Argentine midfielder currently plays for Brighton & Hove Albion, and Liverpool have been linked with his services in recent weeks. However, it remains to be seen which player Liverpool have made an “important contract” offer to.
Mac Allister to Liverpool update
Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Liverpool’s pursuit of Alexis Mac Allister, stating that the Reds have presented their project and financial proposal to the Argentinian World Cup winner. According to Romano, Liverpool have had concrete conversations with Mac Allister and have offered him an important contract while discussing the project with him. The Mirror’s John Richardson has reported that Liverpool are the front-runner for Mac Allister in a potential £70 million deal, which would make him the club’s third-most expensive signing, behind only Darwin Nunez and Virgil Van Dijk. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will pay such a high price for the midfielder, but Romano’s update suggests that the club is serious about their pursuit of him.
