Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool are nearing a deal to sign Mac Allister with his father and agent said to have booked his flight to England next week to ratify the switch.

One midfield recruitment may well not be enough for Klopp amid Liverpool’s links to Uruguay international Ugarte.

Sporting CP are said to hold out little hope of keeping the 22-year-old given his £52m release clause is attracting serious attention.

Le Parisien report on Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea preparing to launch a bid, with Liverpool described as “ready” to meet the clause themselves.
