Alexis Mac Allister is rumoured to want to leave Liverpool in the summer amid his desire for a change of scenery away from the Premier League.
According to Fichajes, Mac Allister is rumoured to be looking for an exit away from Liverpool ahead of the summer. The Argentine World Cup winner is on the radar of clubs like Real Madrid, among others, as the midfielder reportedly seeks a change of scenery away from the Premier League.
Liverpool have had a troubled season, with manager Arne Slot and many of the top players there under the microscope for their dismal performances.
Once again, the team created trouble for themselves with a 1-0 loss away from home to Galatasaray in the Champions League last 16, as they would need a big performance in the second leg.
More importantly, their season has derailed consistently due to timid performances, as Liverpool are currently fighting to stay relevant in the top-four race rather than chasing for the title.
Some of the top performers from their Premier League-winning season have been dismal, including Mac Allister. Liverpool are already concerned over Mac Allister’s future amid links to Real Madrid and others, as the midfielder is rumoured to want to leave the club. The Argentine World Cup winner could consider a switch to Spain, where the physical demands on the pitch are far less than in the Premier League.
Alexis Mac Allister informs Liverpool of exit desire
The report claims the midfielder’s camp have reportedly informed Liverpool of their desire to make a switch away from the club in the summer.
The story also claims a price point of €60 million is enough to convince the Merseysiders to part ways with their key midfielder, although in reality, Liverpool are widely expected to demand significantly more for the Argentine.
If this news of Mac Allister seeking an exit is true, it will be a blow for the club, considering they only recently tied down midfield partner Ryan Gravenberch to a new long-term deal. Losing Mac Allister would create a significant void in Liverpool’s midfield that would require immediate addressing during the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid and PSG monitor Mac Allister situation
Real Madrid have been linked with Mac Allister for a while now, and they do need a midfielder of his ilk in their squad.
Florentino Perez could view the Liverpool star as a worthy addition, although any move will depend on the finances attached to any deal. PSG are also keen on landing Mac Allister as a potential replacement for Fabian Ruiz, which would make sense from a number of angles.
However, it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are realistically considering a sale. The club have invested heavily in rebuilding their midfield and Mac Allister represents a key part of that project despite this season’s struggles.
Liverpool face difficult summer decision over midfielder
Mac Allister’s desire for less physical demands suggests he finds the Premier League’s intensity challenging. A move to La Liga or Ligue 1 would offer a different tactical environment with potentially less demanding schedules. Real Madrid and PSG can both offer Champions League football and the chance to compete for major trophies.
Liverpool must decide whether to cash in on a player who wants to leave or convince him to stay and fight for his place. The €60 million valuation mentioned seems low for a World Cup winner still in his prime years. Liverpool would likely demand closer to €80-90 million if they seriously consider selling Mac Allister to Real Madrid or PSG this summer.
