Liverpool completed the signing of Argentine Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton & Hove Albion for 35 million pounds on Friday.
Alexis MacAllister, a midfielder, was instrumental in Argentina’s victory at the FIFA World Cup 2022. After four years with Brighton & Hove Albion, the 24-year-old is now ready to play for Liverpool in the upcoming Premier League season.
According to Liverpool’s official website, Alexis Mac Allister said, “It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true, it’s amazing to be here and I can’t wait to get started. I wanted to be in the first day of pre-season, so it’s good that everything is done. I’m looking forward to meeting my teammates.”
The Argentine national added that, “It was a fantastic year for me – World Cup, what we achieved with Brighton – but now it’s time to think about Liverpool and try to be a better player and a better human being every day.”

Alexis MacAllister will play an important role in Liverpool’s midfield. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also desired a stable option in the midfield, but injuries to a few players and inconsistent play by others left a gap in the midfield for Liverpool.
