Liverpool's first signing couldn't have been anyone better. Alexis Mac Allister arrives at Anfield on the back of a spectacular season winning the World Cup with Argentina and then qualifying for a historic Europa League place with Brighton.
A much-needed reinforcement in the center of the pitch, Mac Allister will comfortably slot into Liverpool's midfield, and many are rightly excited about seeing him in action for the first time when he does eventually return and joins up with the squad for pre-season ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
In the meantime, Mac Allister is enjoying a much-deserved break away from England back in his native Argentina. But even in his downtime, he hasn't quite escaped the 'football bug'.

Over the weekend, Mac Allister was a visitor to one of his former clubs, Argentinos Juniors, to watch them in action, and even gave an interview to the club about his time coming through the system.
The game itself reaped a positive result for Mac Allister with his former side getting a 3-1 victory over Defensa in a result that saw the club bridge the gap from four points to just one between the two sides who sit eight and seventh respectively on the league table of Argentina's top flight.
But it wasn't just the performance Mac Allister might have been impressed by but also the performance of another exciting young prodigy coming through at Argentinos Juniors.
The surname Redondo is famous in football. Fernando Redondo was an iconic figure at Real Madrid, and now his son, Federico, is following not just in his father's footsteps but Mac Allister's as well.
A regular at first-team level for Argentinos Juniors, Redondo produced another solid display against Defensa, dominating the middle of the pitch in a holding midfield position. Capable of pulling the strings and reading the game effectively, Redondo has the technical ability of his father, but also the defensive resilience and physicality to transition into an excellent future holding midfielder at an elite level.
A regular for Argentina at the U20 World Cup recently where Redondo also caught the eye, he is a player who would also make sense for Liverpool's midfield alongside Mac Allister.
With the South American market more accessible for FSG and Liverpool than ever post-Brexit, players like Redondo could emerge as under-the-radar marvels for Premier League clubs to pick up and nurture into world-class talent.
Mac Allister is certainly proof of that, and Redondo could easily follow in his footsteps.
At Liverpool this summer, it's clear Jürgen Klopp needs a midfield overhaul, and that means not just buying players to slot into the starting XI, but also bolstering his options in terms of depth.
That's where Redondo would fit in nicely. Not quite ready to be a regular, as an option off the bench he could be an astute candidate to provide competition in Fabinho's holding midfield position and give Liverpool another outlet to use.
With Europa League football on the cards, there will be the opportunity to integrate him into the side in that competition as well, and not just in the domestic cups, which could provide him with the necessary minutes he would need to develop.
South America is the new frontier Liverpool has to conquer in order to make sure FSG's model can continue being self-sustainable since transfer fees have not inflated as massively as they have in Europe. Redondo might be an excellent start.
