Mac Allister joins Liverpool from Brighton and Hove Albion, signing a five-year contract that will keep him at the club until June 2028. The reported fee for the transfer is believed to be £35 million, as confirmed by Italian journalist sources.
The acquisition of Mac Allister addresses a key area of concern for Liverpool, as the club’s fan base has been eager for a midfield rebuild following the previous season.
The versatile Argentine midfielder is expected to bring valuable qualities to the team, excelling in various positions such as central midfield, defensive midfield, and attacking midfield, depending on the requirements of the game.
In terms of squad number, Mac Allister is set to inherit the shirt previously worn by Senegalese international and Liverpool legend, Sadio Mane.
Mane had donned the number before his departure to Bayern Munich last season, and now the Argentine midfielder will proudly carry on the legacy associated with that jersey.
The midfielder however revealed he had the opportunity to pick a different shirt number which he recognized was more special to the club; the number 8 jersey number worn by Liverpool great, Steven Gerrard.
“We have reached an agreement for the transfer of @alemacallister from Brighton & Hove Albion on a long-term deal for an undisclosed fee” the club had announced on Twitter.
