Liverpool continue to prepare for the second half of the 22/23 season where they have the fervent desire to stay at the end of the season in the top five of the Premier League table, which gives them the ticket to play in next year's European competitions. That is why, in this transfer window, Klopp knows he must invest wisely in players who can help win games.

There was much talk about the possibility of Argentina World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez joining Anfield, and even local media revealed that Jürgen Klopp had asked the board to sign the midfielder who had wowed Qatar and the world, but knowing the asking price and the locks SL Benfica had placed on Enzo, Klopp decided to step aside and focus on another Argentinian superstar.

The extraordinary season that Brighton & Hove Albion is having is to be recognised, a team that used to fight in the bottom half of the table is now a difficult rival to beat at home. Graham Potter's footballing legacy with the Seagulls can be seen in 24-year-old midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, who had an excellent World Cup, and was one of Lio Escaloni's favourites during the tournament.

Mac Allister has an asking price of between 35 and 40 million euros, which according to Argentina's Diario La Republica, would be a real bargain considering the individual level that the former Boca Juniors player has shown in the Premier League. Established players who have not had to adapt to English football are preferred by Klopp, who is already planning to put on the table the amount that the Seagulls are asking for their superstar.

Klopp wants Mac Allister

Although Alexis is three years older than Enzo, Klopp knows that with what they are asking in Portugal for the former River Plate man, not only can he secure the services of Mac Allister, but he could also take the other Brigton star, Moises Caicedo, who is also set to leave in this transfer window despite manager Roberto De Zerbi's refusal to part with him, as well as Mac Allister, who for less than 100 million could soon arrive at Anfield.
