Alexis Mac Allister's remarkable performances for both club and country have caught the attention of Liverpool, who now have a chance to acquire the midfielder at a reduced fee.
The 24-year-old Argentine played a pivotal role in Argentina's World Cup victory last November and has been instrumental in Brighton's pursuit of European qualification.
Despite signing a contract extension with Brighton until 2025 in October, it appears likely that the midfielder will be sold in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool is believed to be one of the frontrunners in the race to secure Mac Allister's signature. Notably, Brighton's interest in one of Liverpool's players suggests the possibility of a player-plus-cash deal that could satisfy all parties involved. This emerging option could facilitate a transfer that benefits both clubs.
Brighton, Tottenham, and Brentford are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, as per the Irish Independent. Kelleher, who has been Liverpool's backup option for several seasons, is seeking more regular playing time and is open to a move away from Anfield.
Liverpool may leverage Brighton's interest in Kelleher to secure a reduced fee for Mac Allister, according to reports. While Brighton would accept offers of £60 million for the player, Liverpool is ready to let Kelleher leave once a club meets their valuation of around £20 million.
There is potential for a swap deal between the clubs, with Liverpool offering £40 million plus Kelleher in exchange for signing Mac Allister.
