Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are set to sign Alexis Mac Allister for way less. Most of the news outlets have claimed that he will be £60M-£70M but Fabrizio says the Reds will secure the deal for less.
Fabrizio predicts Liverpool’s signing fee of Alexis Mac Allister
Fabrizio Romano informed that the Merseyside giants are in the final stage of Mac Allister’s signing. Transfer Expert through his personal YouTube channel stated,
“Carlos, the father of the player, will be in England this weekend. The mission is to complete the negotiation for Alexis Mac Allister next week.
We know Liverpool are absolutely frontrunners. They have to complete some final details on the contract of the player and then Alexis will become a new Liverpool player.
They have agreement in principle on length of the contract, on the salary is about some final clauses they are discussing for Alexis Mac Allister and then he will agree 100% the personal terms with Liverpool and then join Liverpool because they will pay the release clause to Brighton.
Trust me, if you see records of £70m, £65m, or £60m – no, it is way less than this. It is a very good deal for Liverpool in this case if they will be able to complete.
But the timing is very clear: next week for Alexis Mac Allister transfer.”

As the Reds are trying to cut cost and fit more players within budget, this news is definitely relieving. If John Schmadtke and the club could capitalize on this opportunity then it will be beneficial for the club.
Earlier the reported release clause for the Argentine international was almost £70M. If that is not the case then the club can have a fierce midfield with the signing of Manu Kone and Khephren Thuram for a total of £130M.
The coming weeks would be interesting to see how things unfold.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
