Liverpool are making significant moves in their efforts to sign Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
The Argentina midfielder is a prime target for Jurgen Klopp as the summer window approaches.
Per The Mail, director-to-be Jorg Schmadtke is set to sign a short-term contract with the club.
One of his first jobs will be to try and secure Mac Allister from Brighton, who are enjoying an excellent season.
Mac Allister does want to move on to a top club that can challenge for trophies.
However, he is respectful to the Albion, who have helped advance his career, which means the two clubs will have to find an agreement.
