Alexis Mac Allister could head the list of departures from Liverpool in the summer, as major changes are being planned in the background.
Liverpool could have another important summer window, which could see several players depart to make way for new arrivals. As per Football Insider, Alexis Mac Allister could be among five players who could leave the Merseyside outfit in the summer, with the Argentine midfielder particularly having a dismal season.
The only thing left for Liverpool to achieve this season is a top-five finish, as they have been ousted from every competition available. Capping off a dismal campaign, the Reds are bracing for another important summer, with Champions League football likely to boost their ambitions to an extent.
Arne Slot’s recent comments stated this could be another summer window where Liverpool may have to offload players if they plan on bringing new ones in. Last summer was similar, as a host of their first-team stars left, and this time it looks like the same, with Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson already announcing their respective departures from the club.
There are significant doubts about Federico Chiesa and Curtis Jones, but now, Alexis Mac Allister could head the list of at least five potential departures, with Joe Gomez and Harvey Elliott also on the chopping block. Liverpool could part ways with the Argentine if there is a good sales opportunity, as well as the chance to bring in funds for a replacement.
Mac Allister has been particularly disappointing this season, despite his 10 goal contributions across all competitions. Comparing his performances from this term to last could show a stark difference in quality, as Liverpool could make use of his value to secure a good price in the market, with teams like Real Madrid linked.
Will Alexis Mac Allister leave Liverpool?
There is always the possibility, despite how good the player is, with last season’s departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez exemplifying the idea. There have been reports of a possible discussion between Liverpool and Real Madrid, either to sell Mac Allister or to explore the opportunity of an exchange of some sort.
Liverpool are already in the market for a new midfielder amid links to Adam Wharton, among others, as Arne Slot might go with a different kind of partner for Ryan Gravenberch. Concrete interest in Mac Allister is yet to emerge, but Liverpool’s asking price will also play a big role in any potential sale.
