Alexis mac allister to liverpool details including shirt number and wages

TRANSFER FEE Last month it had been reported by Sky Sports that Brighton wanted more than £70million to sell Mac Allister. But it has since emerged Liverpool will in reality pay less than

that figure. The reported fee dropped to £60m recently but transfer insider Fabrizio Romano says it is even 'way less' than that and is lower than £45m. CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs

similarly says the actual fee could be just under £45m courtesy of a release clause in the contract that the player signed last October. CONTRACT AND WAGES Mac Allister will sign a

five-year deal at Liverpool having already agreed personal terms. That would see him tied down until June 2028, by which time he will be 29 years old. Details of the wages he will take at

Anfield are currently unconfirmed though Spotrac say he earns £50,000 a week with the Seagulls. Argentine newspaper La Nacion have said that salary will double on Merseyside. But they could

even treble to £150,000 and even then he would still fit in with the existing pay scale given Darwin Nunez, signed last summer, earns £140,000 a week per Spotrac while January arrival Cody

Gakpo is said to be on £120,000. SHIRT NUMBER Mac Allister has exclusively worn the No 10 shirt during his four-year spell in England, and given that number is vacant at Liverpool since

Sadio Mane left 12 months ago, it's all but certain he will take on the same jersey under Jurgen Klopp. Previous midfield wearers include John Barnes, Luis Garcia and Philippe Coutinho.

Alternatively, he wore the No 8 on loan at Boca Juniors from Brighton and that number - made famous by Steven Gerrard at Anfield - is also going after Naby Keita's departure. Mac

Allister is currently the owner of the No 20 shirt for Argentina but that is taken by Diogo Jota with the Reds.
