Andy Jones of The Athletic said that Liverpool ‘would want’ to put Alexis Mac Allister in a job where he is comfortable.
The reporter wrote a detailed analysis of the different spots where the Argentine played for Brighton & Hove Albion. The story also talked about how Mac Allister throws the ball and his seasonal touch map.
The player’s father was also very insistent that Liverpool play him in his chosen position, as a number 10 on the left side. Jones said this about the part: “It’s a role that Liverpool would want him to play in their box formation.”
The details of the deal were released by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano earlier today. The transfer fee, which was surprisingly low at £35 million, was also revealed. He also said that medical tests had been done and that an announcement would be made soon after the papers were signed.
Jurgen Klopp will be happy that Liverpool has started making transfers so early in the window. This will give any possible new players time to settle in and get to know the team. If Mac Allister is put in the place he likes best, it should be good for both the player and the manager.
At first, the Argentine played in a lower midfield position because he was covering for Pascal Gross. But after his great play helped Argentina win the 2022 FIFA World Cup, he was moved up the field to get the most out of him.
This season, Alexis Mac Allister played in 40 games for Brighton in all competitions. He scored 12 goals and set up three others. It will be interesting to see if he can improve his numbers at Liverpool, where there are more skilled players.
Brighton will say that they have signed two free agents.
After a very good season in the Premier League, Brighton will likely add to their team as they prepare to play in the Europa League next year.
James Milner will leave Anfield when his deal runs out at the end of June, the team said a couple of weeks ago. He will move to Brighton in the south and sign with them in the next few days. An announcement should be made by the end of this week.
The Seagulls are also likely to announce that Mahmoud Dahoud will be joining them. Dahoud will leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of June when his deal ends.
