Liverpool ‘appear as the great candidate’ to sign midfielder – Reds ‘have in mind’ a new number 10

Liverpool’s chase for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is something that is gaining big attention from the Argentine media.

This week, we covered journalist Cesar Luis Merlo claiming the Reds are advancing ‘more and more’ to get the transfer done, as their offer is already being analysed by the player’s staff.

Today, it’s Olé who feature a big story on this pursuit, wondering whether Liverpool are saving their number ten shirt for Mac Allister.

The outlet writes that even though the midfielder has several clubs interested in him, it’s the Reds that seem to lead the race, as they ‘appear as the great candidate’ to sign him.

It’s said Liverpool are rebuilding their midfield this summer and Mac Allister’s style is what the Anfield side are after, as he’s the ‘great option’ they ‘have in mind’.

The Reds haven’t had a number ten since the departure of Sadio Mane, and since that’s the shirt the Argentine player used in his home country, they ask whether he’ll have that again.

Olé writes that Mac Allister should cost between €60m and €80m, and besides Liverpool’s interest, he’s also linked to Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United.
