Liverpool signed Alexis Mac Allister last summer for a bargain fee of £35m. However, as per football finance expert Kieran Maguire, there are sizeable add-ons in the Reds' transfer agreement with Brighton.
Maguire told Football Insider: “If you take a look at the small print of Brighton’s accounts, it says that they could earn up to £40million from add-ons [for all players they've sold].
“I believe the add-ons attached to the Alexis McAllister deal to Liverpool are in the region of £20million.
“Therefore, if it comes to the last day of the season, expect to see lots of Brighton fans singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and wanting Liverpool to win the Premier League.
“And now that Brighton aren’t in the Europa League – they will want Liverpool to win that as well because that will mean further money coming to the club.“
Even if Liverpool spend £55m in total on Mac Allister, it would still be a bargain fee considering how good the Argentine is. The add-ons in the agreement are contingent on Liverpool winning silverware, as per Maguire.
