Liverpool are hopeful of signing Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister this week.
The two Premier League clubs have been in contact regarding the Argentine World Cup winner, who has a release clause of between £45m and £55m in his contract.
Mac Allister signed a new contract with Brighton last October, extending a deal that was due to expire this summer but now runs until the summer of 2025, with an option for an extra 12 months.
Once the release clause has been met, it is expected personal terms will be quickly agreed between Liverpool and Mac Allister.
The 24-year-old's arrival is likely to begin what looks set to be a busy summer at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp looking to freshen up a side that missed out on Champions League qualification this season.
