A massive announcement is coming for Liverpool, the deal is close.

It's early days into the new era for the club. After the bleak ending of the Arne Slot and Richard Hughes period, Liverpool are trying to restore hope among the fanbase.

Andoni Iraola is the perfect man to do that. He smiles. He is passionate when he speaks and on the touchline as well.

He exudes a lot of enthusiasm and positivity. Even when Liverpool lose he takes accountability and doesn't point fingers at anyone else - especially not his own players.

Iraola just has a lot of charm to him.

And that kind of charm can go a long way. Especially when the results overall are trending upwards with the Reds now sitting in fourth place in the Premier League.

How Iraola has transformed Liverpool

The key changes Iraola has made was to make the Reds more front footed in their style of play. Liverpool are pressing aggresively and that makes the playing style more enjoyable to watch.

On top of that, Liverpool also have new personnel who Iraola integrated from the club's academy.

Trey Nyoni has already played more minutes under Iraola than he ever did playing under Slot. Rio Ngumoha has been fully unleashed as well.

And we have seen some really positive and lively cameos from Lewis Koumas, too. It's fair to say the Welshman has fully embraced Iraola's tactics and has gained a lot of confidence under him.

More importantly, the club's key players are performing well. Isak has scored double the amount of goals he scored last season already. Alexis Mac Allister is playing like his old self again.

Alexis Mac Allister announcement is coming within days

The Argentine has probably felt a little bit hard done by not getting a contract extension when both of his fellow midfielders in Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai received hefty raises and long-term deals.

Mac Allister has been neglected and now has around 18 months left on his current deal.

For a while, it looked like Liverpool were open to letting him go.

However, it now seems like the club has done a u-turn. In fact, Liverpool no longer want to lose him. They want to keep Mac Allister at the club in the long-term as well.

And an announcement over a new deal could now be imminent. Journalist Ismael Mahmoud took to X to confirm that 'good news' is coming in the next 10 days.

Mahmoud has done several exclusive interviews and news with people connected to Mac Allister. So it looks like he has strong sources.

And that would suggest a deal is close, and Liverpool could be getting a massive deal over the line very shortly.
