Liverpool transfer news LIVE – Alexis Mac Allister price, Ryan Gravenberch uncertainty, Manu Kone update

Hello and welcome to the ECHO’s dedicated Liverpool news and transfers blog on Monday, June 5.

The transfer window will soon open and Jurgen Klopp has identified potential recruits who can improve Liverpool’s fortunes next season after a disappointing fifth place finish in the Premier League.

Alexis Mac Allister is Klopp’s number one transfer target and it looks as though the Reds boss could soon make the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder his signing of the summer.

Klopp isn’t stopping at the World Cup winner as the price for Borussia Monchengladbach star Manu Kone – another rumoured to be on the radar – has been hinted at in fresh reports.

Mac Allister update

Certain supporters would have gone into meltdown if 12 months ago they were told Liverpool’s main priority of the following summer’s transfer market was to sign a Brighton midfielder.

Few, though, will be complaining as the Reds continue to chase the signature of Alexis Mac Allister, having made the Argentina World Cup winner their focus as they look to strengthen their midfield options.

Comments from the player’s family and friends suggest a deal is close, with Anfield sources quietly confident the transfer is progressing well. And Mac Allister himself did little to quell the speculation when directly asked about Liverpool interest last week.
