Liverpool ready to sell Alexis Mac Allister; £73m phenom picked to replace him

Liverpool appear to have chosen their Alexis Mac Allister replacement. He's now free to depart.

Liverpool gave Ryan Gravenberch a massive new contract this season. Talks with Dominik Szoboszlai are reportedly underway, too, as the club looks to consolidate its star midfielders.

However, there are no such talks for Alexis Mac Allister. That's been confirmed by the player's father and it's a sign that Liverpool either aren't as all-in on the Argentine as they are others, or that Mac Allister isn't as willing to re-sign as some.

No matter which it is, a sale in the summer is a very real possibility. Real Madrid have consistently been linked with an interest and it feels as though the club may decide to cash-in on Mac Allister - especially if his World Cup goes well.

Adding fuel to the fire is an interest in Victor Froholdt. The FC Porto midfielder has enjoyed a brilliant debut campaign in Portugal and now several Premier League clubs are interested.

That includes Liverpool, who are aware of his £73m release clause. That's according to Correio da Manhã in a report on the growing interest in Froholdt.

He'd be a direct replacement for Mac Allister as a do-it-all midfielder. Just one who's also far younger and on significantly lower wages.

Transfer Speculation

Mac Allister’s future is currently a subject of debate as he enters the final two years of his contract.

Liverpool have reportedly prioritised extensions for Gravenberch and Szoboszlai.
