Alexis Mac Allister has been a key player for Liverpool but his days at Anfield could be numbered.
Liverpool have done a lot of the hard work in terms of building a squad that is fit for the future and fit for a new era.
Things haven’t gone quite to plan this season, however, there is enough to be excited about in a squad that will have new signings added in the summer. The biggest problem to solve is how to replace a player like Mohamed Salah. One area of the park where little needs to be done is in midfield.
Liverpool midfield dilemma
What might be needed is a natural defensive midfielder. Adam Wharton is available for just £60m if Liverpool qualify for the Champions League, Elliot Anderson is growing frustrated at Nottingham Forest having to play for a different manager every month and Sandro Tonali seems certain to move on from Newcastle United. The ready-made signing would be Eduardo Camavinga, who would instantly upgrade Liverpool’s midfield.
The current midfield is that strong that Curtis Jones hasn’t been given as many minutes as Slot would like, going as far as to say that in any other position he would be virtually guaranteed to start most weeks. Another player who comes into this category is Alexis Mac Allister who, when Florian Wirtz plays centrally, has found himself increasingly on the bench. The Argentina international might be coming to the end of his time at Anfield and has been linked with a move to Manchester United.
Is Mac Allister leaving Liverpool?
Not so, according to what is a pretty reliable source. Journalist Ismail Mahmoud, writing for winwin, has claimed that he has information almost from the horses mouth with the player’s dad claiming that: “Alexis is only thinking about Liverpool at the moment,” Mac Allister Sr. said.
“We are waiting for an offer to renew his contract. We will see what the club’s plan is.” Contract talks have been reported already this season, however, if Liverpool do sign a no.6, the chances of Mac Allister still being at the club in 2028 are pretty slim.
