Liverpool have reportedly made Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister their top summer transfer target.
Jurgen Klopp’s side are keen to overhaul their midfield after a disappointing campaign which has seen them fail to mount a title charge. They have identified several midfielders to fill the gap that will open in their midfield this summer.
According to GOAL, the Reds have now identified 24-year-old Mac Allister as a player who can make a big difference to Klopp’s side.

But the Anfield side are not alone in their desire to sign the Argentine World Cup winner, with Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly keen to sign him.
The player will not come cheap, too, with Brighton expected to demand around £70 million ($88m) for Mac Allister. However, the Seagulls are aware of the player’s desire to move on at the end of this season and will be forced to lower their wages.
Apart from Mac Allister, Liverpool also retains a keen interest in the 24-year-old’s midfield partner at the Amex Stadium, Moises Caicedo. But the Reds fear Brighton’s asking price for the Ecuadorian will prove prohibitive, with the Seagulls rejecting an offer of £70m ($88m) from Arsenal for the 21-year-old in January.
