Alexis Mac Allister Hints at Argentine Teammate Joining Liverpool Following Alexander-Arnold’s Exit

🔴 Liverpool Target Lautaro Martinez After Mac Allister Recommendation

Could Lautaro Martinez be the next big arrival at Anfield? According to reports from El Crack Deportivo (via Anfield Watch), Liverpool are seriously considering a move for the Inter Milan striker—following strong internal backing from Alexis Mac Allister.

🗣️ Mac Allister Backs Lautaro Signing

Mac Allister has reportedly urged Liverpool’s decision-makers to pursue Lautaro, citing their successful partnership at international level. The two played key roles in Argentina’s recent triumphs, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2024 Copa America.

The midfielder views Lautaro as an ideal addition to Liverpool’s evolving forward line—someone who can offer consistency, experience, and clinical finishing.

⚽ Why Liverpool Are Eyeing a New Striker

With doubts over the futures of Darwin Núñez (linked with Al-Nassr) and Diogo Jota (attracting interest from Europe), Liverpool are actively scanning the market for attacking reinforcements.

Lautaro isn’t the only name being considered—Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Jonathan David remain on the radar—but Lautaro’s experience, winning mentality, and elite goal-scoring record place him near the top of the shortlist.

🔥 Lautaro’s Red-Hot Form

• Serie A 2024/25: 21 goals
• Champions League: 8 goals
• 2024 Copa America: Golden Boot winner
• Role: Club captain at Inter, proven leader in big matches

At 27, Lautaro is in his prime—and his form has made him one of Europe’s most coveted strikers.

💰 The Financial Challenge

Inter reportedly value Lautaro at around €100 million, meaning Liverpool would have to make a record-breaking investment to sign him. Such a move would rival or surpass the club’s recent record splurges (e.g., Florian Wirtz’s reported £116m signing).

However, with Liverpool aiming to build a title-contending squad under new boss Arne Slot, the club could be willing to stretch its budget for a proven match-winner.

📅 What’s Next?

With Mac Allister lobbying behind the scenes and the summer transfer window heating up, all eyes are now on whether Liverpool will formalize their interest with an official bid—and if Lautaro is open to a Premier League switch.
