Liverpool close to striking agreement on personal terms with Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister - and Man City are out of the picture as it stands

• Mac Allister one of Reds' top targets
• Liverpool close to agreement with him
• Man City not plotting a bid

WHAT HAPPENED? The Reds have been linked with the midfielder following his starring role for Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar last year. A deal is edging closer to becoming a reality as Fabrizio Romano claims that they are on the verge of agreeing personal terms with him.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Liverpool are in the market to sign a new midfielder as they look to recover from a disappointing 2022-23 season and Mac Allister is reported to be one of their top targets. It was claimed this month they have made a financial proposal to the 24-year-old and it appears their efforts have paid off.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Mac Allister has been linked to several top teams following his exploits for Brighton and Argentina, including Manchester City. However, Romano says that the Premier League champions are not planning a move for him at this time.
