Liverpool may end up deciding to “cash in” on key midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, according to a big new claim from journalist Pete O’Rourke. The 27-year-old is currently on World Cup duty with Argentina, as he looks to retain the trophy, but there is ongoing talk surrounding his future at Liverpool.

He still has good value and is a World Cup winner, so if he goes and has a good World Cup again this month, then that’ll obviously maybe bring other teams to the table as well. “Liverpool, right now, are looking to strengthen rather than weaken the squad, but if they are needing to sell players, Mac Allister could be one of those that could be sacrificed.” Should Liverpool sell Alexis Mac Allister this summer?

Liverpool have such a tough call to make with Mac Allister, weighing up whether he has peaked as a footballer or, like many, he simply had one bad season under Arne Slot. That said, Mac Allister has played relentlessly at the highest level without much of a break for years now, so Liverpool may feel that replacing him with a younger signing makes more sense.
