Alexis Mac Allister has emerged as a reported target for Liverpool with the summer transfer window fast approaching,
The Brighton & Hove Albion star is now one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe after featuring heavily for Argentina on their way to winning the World Cup in December.
And, to add further fuel to the transfer speculation fire, Mac Allister's father and agent was spotted at Anfield next to club officials as Liverpool took on Real Madrid in the Champions League last month, according to Football Transfers.

Liverpool, along with Chelsea, are the two Premier League sides to have 'deepened conversations' with Mac Allister's camp in recent weeks, according to Revelo. They also state the Argentine is ready to take the next step in his career.
The 24-year-old, who is under contract at Brighton until January 2025, addressed his future earlier this year, after winning the World Cup. Mac Allister said: "“I try not to read too much [speculation]. I always say I am happy here, I don’t have any rush to leave. I feel really good, I’m really grateful with this club, my teammates and all the people who work here. I’m just focused on the next game and this club."
Jurgen Klopp is well underway with planning for his summer midfield rebuild. Jude Bellingham remains the top priority, but the Reds boss has also been linked with Mason Mount and Matheus Nunes among others.
