Mac Allister Under Scrutiny as Liverpool Weigh Up Summer Exit; PSG Eye £69m Swoop

Alexis Mac Allister's future at Liverpool is suddenly looking rather uncertain, with the Anfield hierarchy apparently ready to consider cashing in on the midfielder come summer.

The Argentina international has endured a disappointing campaign compared to his stellar debut season under Arne Slot. Last term he chipped in with five goals and five assists, but this season has yielded just two assists—a stark decline that hasn't gone unnoticed. While still regarded as one of Europe's finest midfielders, Mac Allister's inconsistency reflects Liverpool's broader struggles.

The Reds have limped through 2025-26 well adrift of the title picture, sitting sixth in the Premier League with Arsenal a daunting 14 points clear. Several players have failed to reproduce last season's form, and the club faces some uncomfortable decisions in the transfer market.

Mac Allister's father, Carlos, recently sought to dampen speculation, telling WinWin: "What I can say at the moment is that Alexis is focused on Liverpool and the current season. Alexis is very happy and very comfortable with Liverpool." Yet such reassurances may prove hollow if Liverpool's internal assessment concludes otherwise.

PSG have made their intentions clear, reportedly keen to accelerate negotiations and wrap up a deal at their earliest convenience. A fee of €80m—roughly £69m—is understood to be the figure required to tempt Liverpool into parting with their star asset. The French club are hardly alone in their admiration; Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have both been linked with the 26-year-old.

Liverpool's financial position suggests they may need to make some difficult sales following their substantial summer expenditure. According to reports, a comprehensive review of Mac Allister's performances is scheduled for May, once the Premier League season concludes. The outcome of that stocktake could well determine his fate.

Despite a testing season, Mac Allister remains in his prime years and continues to rank among Europe's elite box-to-box operators. Whether Liverpool retain him or cash in will become clearer once that May review is completed.
