Manchester City is reportedly pursuing Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister to lead their midfielder rebuild following recent departures from the club. Liverpool's midfield is set for further changes, with Curtis Jones moving to Inter Milan and the possibility of Stefan Bajcetic to Celta Vigo and James McConnell leaving on loan. Sporting director Richard Hughes may face pressure if Manchester City successfully sign Mac Allister.
The 27-year-old Argentine playmaker is highly sought after by City's new boss Enzo Maresca, who is interested in signing him along with Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi and Bournemouth's Alex Scott. Manchester City has already lost Rodri to Barcelona, Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, and Tijjani Reijnders to Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia, but still requires more Premier League-ready midfielders.
If no deal is agreed upon with Liverpool, Mac Allister may be sold, potentially leaving his position to Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch at Liverpool.
