Key Liverpool target's agent spotted at Anfield as summer rumours swirl

Mac Allister has been rumoured with a move to Merseyside following his excellent performances for Argentina at the World Cup.

The 24-year-old was influential in the final, setting up Angel Di Maria to put the South American giants 2-0 up against France, eventually going on to win on penalties.

His form has earned him interest from a whole host of European clubs, with Arsenal and Chelsea also thought to be keen on the midfielder.

But in a major boost for Liverpool, Mac Allister's agent, who is also his father, was spotted in the crowd at Anfield sitting among club officials, according to FootballTransfers.

It is also claimed that Liverpool are keen to recruit the Argentine as part of a major overhaul, with Mason Mount also linked to the Reds.

Mac Allister, who's contract runs out in 2025 is allegedly priced at £70million. But it is thought this could rise even further following the £100m valuation of fellow Seagulls midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The Italian told CaughtOffside: “I’m told he has chances to leave in the summer as he’d love a top club move, but Brighton guarantee they’ve not fixed a price tag yet and I guess it’s going to be another big fight to sign Brighton star in the summer.”

Explaining his son's transfer situation, he told TyC Sports: "We all know that in July there will be possibilities to be able to leave.
