Alexis Mac Allister’s contract situation was catapulted into the spotlight by the player himself last month, when he publicly declared his ‘sadness’ not to be offered a new deal by Liverpool.

Asked about the possibility of Scott ending up at Anfield, though, Lynch says that a summer move, after Mac Allister has left, is much more probable as things stand. “I thought it was interesting the reporting [on Alex Scott], which chimes with what I said last week, which is the idea that Liverpool are not necessarily looking at that January market for midfielders,” the journalist said while speaking to Anfield Index.“As far as they’re concerned they’re not short in midfield now and that’s not as big of an issue as was made out at the start of the season.” READ MORE: Alex Scott’s move to Liverpool now in doubt as Reds activate plans for another young midfielder “The thing about the midfield and why they’re going to need one at some point is because Mac Allister is probably going to go in the next kind of couple of windows, obviously not this January one, but probably in the summer.

It might be that Mac Allister moves on in the summer and then Alex Scott comes onto the radar as someone they like, but also Lamine Camara is there as well.” As Lynch says, fans should not be expecting a mid-season signing, with Mac Allister set to keep his role as a key player for the remainder of the season. “Outside of an injury that changes things, I would be surprised even if his price creeps down if they were to go for Alex Scott for £80m in January.” If Mac Allister keeps up his good form, there will be pressure to hand him a contract extension.
