Liverpool have been able to secure an impressive deal to sign Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister.

Per the Liverpool Echo and other sources, Mac Allister has Brighton's permission to complete a medical ahead of the transfer.

The Reds will pay a fee that starts at £45 million, which is a lot less than fans were expecting.

The source adds that Mac Allister did have a transfer release clause in his contract.

Such an agreement that he had with Brighton has helped the Reds secure him without getting involved in a bidding war.

Any money they can save on this transfer will allow them to make more moves later on in the window.
