Alexis Mac Allister spoke with Jurgen Klopp in a top-secret "James Bond-like" meeting before deciding to join Liverpool.

The Argentine international has now revealed how the transfer unfolded, with then-Reds boss Klopp going the extra mile to secure his signature in an effort to revamp his ageing midfield.

Writing in The Players’ Tribune, Mac Allister recently said: “At the end of that season, Jurgen Klopp came to see me.



Box to box!’”

He went on to add: “From that moment I spoke to Jurgen, I knew I was meant to come to Liverpool.

That included netting Liverpool's Goal of the Season during a thrilling 4-3 triumph over Fulham, though the Reds' season ended in underwhelming fashion as they missed out on the league title after winning the Carabao Cup.

Unfortunately, it was also his only season under Klopp, as the Liverpool boss shocked the Reds’ dressing room by announcing he would leave at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

But Mac Allister enjoyed an even more pivotal role the following year under successor Arne Slot, making 49 appearances in all competitions and scoring seven goals en route to the Premier League title.
