Merlo says that Liverpool is the “most advanced” bidder for him and that the Reds have offered him a deal that runs until 2028. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano says an agreement is almost finalised, and the player is likely to say goodbye to Brighton fans this next weekend.
Jurgen Klopp, manager of the Reds, is looking to bolster his midfield with new players this summer after a dismal season.

With Mason Mount reportedly hoping to join Manchester United this summer, reports have circulated that Alexis MacAllister is one of Liverpool’s top summer transfer targets. The 24-year-old’s season for Brighton and Argentina has been outstanding. He was instrumental in the Seahawks’ run to the Europa League and won the World Cup in the winter.
Despite starting most of his matches for Brighton over the previous nine months in the centre of the field, the midfielder was one of the tournament’s standouts and has contributed to 15 goals in all competitions (12 goals, 3 assists).
Liverpool will be aiming to get back on track next season, and adding a player with Mac Allister’s flexibility and experience at such a young age may be a huge boost.
