Brighton have claimed that they are yet to receive any contact from Liverpool regarding the signing of Alexis Mac Allister.

After Liverpool withdrew from the competition to acquire Jude Bellingham last month, rumours around the World Cup winner moving to Merseyside have only grown.

The Brighton superstar has been phenomenal for his team this season having scored nine goals for the Seagulls.

Regardless of the recent report of Liverpool in negotiation with Mac Allister, the Athletic journalist Andy Naylor has stated that both clubs have not met concerning the player.

Brighton not expecting any contact

The Brighton star has been linked to Anfield in recent weeks but there has been no contact for Liverpool regarding the player.

According to Andy Naylor of the Athletic, “As things stand, there has been no contact between the clubs and Brighton aren't expecting any.

“I haven't said he won't go, Mike. I've just responded to specific claims that it's reached the stage of talks between Liverpool and Brighton, with a fee agreed.”

Mac Allister part of Brighton success

With few games left in the season, Roberto De Zerbi's team has already surpassed the previous points mark gained by the club in the Premier League thanks in large part to Mac Allister.

The Argentine continued his World Cup form for his club, and he is gradually leading them to challenge for qualification for European football next season as they currently sit seventh in the Premier League table.

Brighton will welcome Everton on Monday night at the Amex Stadium and a win for them will take them above Tottenham who are in sixth position.
