Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister is set to make a £55m move to Liverpool after the Seagulls gave permission for the midfielder to have a medical.
The Argentina playmaker played a key role as Brighton finished sixth in the Premier League last season to qualify for Europe for the first time.
The 24-year-old also helped his country win the World Cup in December.
Liverpool need to add to their midfield with James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain leaving this summer.
They were priced out of a move for Borussia Dortmund’s England teenager Jude Bellingham, who is a target for Real Madrid.
