Liverpool wouldn&#8217;t want to lose a key player like him midway through the season. They have had a poor start to the season and will need to keep key players in order to bounce back strongly. Mac Allister has been hailed as &#8220;absolutely amazing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alexis_Mac_Allister_could_be_sold\"><\/span>Alexis Mac Allister could be sold<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, they have already set a valuation for the 2022 World Cup winner and are willing to sell him if the asking price is met. Liverpool have already made plans for a replacement and are hoping to sign an elite defensive midfielder. <\/p>\n<p>Liverpool have quality central midfielders like Ryan Gravenbirch and Dominik Szoboszlai at their disposal. However, they lack a specialist defensive midfielder who can protect their back four and break down opposition attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Grafenberg has taken on that role, but the Dutch international is active up front. Using him as a defensive midfielder would limit his best qualities, so Liverpool should consider bringing in a midfield disruptor so they can properly unleash the Dutchman. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mac_Allisters_new_challenge\"><\/span>Mac Allister&#8217;s new challenge?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexis Mac Allister in action for Liverpool against Manchester United (Photo credit: Carl Recine\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mac Allister has proven himself in the Premier League with Brighton and Liverpool. Having won the league title, he may feel that now is the perfect time to take on a new challenge. It would be difficult to turn down a move to Real Madrid. They are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world and he may aim to test himself in Spain. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool&#8217;s Alexis Mac Allister receives treatment during the Premier League match between Burnley and Liverpool.
