Liverpool have struck early in the transfer window with the signing of Alexis Mac Allister for an undisclosed fee reported to be around £35 million plus add-ons. This has delighted fans, who have been calling for midfield reinforcement, with many acknowledging the speed with which the deal was completed so early in the summer. The fee has been described as “actual theft” and “daylight robbery” by supporters, who believe Mac Allister is a bargain for his quality and potential.
The 24-year-old is a perfect fit for what Liverpool need, with his technical ability, versatility, intelligence, and team player qualities making him an ideal addition to the squad. His availability is also a major plus, having missed just one game through injury in four seasons.
The signing of Mac Allister is an excellent start to the transfer window for the Reds, but there will undoubtedly be more to follow in the coming weeks. Liverpool have been linked with a whole host of midfielders as Jurgen Klopp plans a summer overhaul of his first-team options, with reported interest in the likes of Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone emerging most recently. With the market remaining open until September 1, the Reds have left themselves with plenty of time to secure more signatures to fuel a push for major honours in 2023/24. It has been an exciting start to the summer for fans and there is hopefully more to come!
