Apart from his exports at the last World Cup, the 24-year-old midfielder was also highly impressive for Brighton last season, helping them to qualify for Europa League.
Speaking on Liverpoolfc.com after the move, Mac Allister said: “It feels amazing. It’s a dream come true, it’s amazing to be here and I can’t wait to get started.
“I wanted to be in [from] the first day of pre-season, so it’s good that everything is done. I’m looking forward to meeting my team-mates.
“It was a fantastic year for me – World Cup, what we achieved with Brighton – but now it’s time to think about Liverpool and try to be a better player and a better human being every day.”
Brighton signed Mac Allister from Argentinos Juniors and he spent four years at the Premier League club, including two loan spells back in his homeland.
