Liverpool could “cash in” on Alexis Mac Allister this summer after the challenges of the 2025-26 season. Football Insider claims sources have told them that Liverpool are “tempted” by the idea of selling Mac Allister this summer transfer window.

Liverpool decision-makers are alleged to consider Mac Allister as a “saleable asset”, with FI “sources indicating that the Reds are likely to cash in on a few of their players in order to fund new additions.” Arne Slot confirmed this month that Liverpool will have to sell to buy this summer after their £420m summer spend last summer resulted in one of the worst recent seasons at Anfield. “As you know, the club that we are we need to recoup our money and to spend again.” How much could Liverpool get for Mac Allister and who should he be replaced with?

Slot’s team lacks fitness generally, with stats suggesting Liverpool have been outran all but once in the Premier League this season – a worrying indictment on his performance at Liverpool as a manager. Since Mac Allister’s regression began, Liverpool have been easier to bypass in midfield, slower in attacking transition and, just in general, lack any consistent tempo or rhythm in build-up play.
