City target Liverpool star as Rodri replacement

Press reports have revealed a possible move by Manchester City, who have begun discussing the name of Argentine Alexis Mac Allister, Liverpool's midfielder, as one of the options being considered to strengthen their midfield in the coming period. According to Ben Jacobs, a journalist at talkSPORT, Manchester City's management has discussed internally the possibility of signing Mac Allister, but there have been no official contacts between the two clubs so far, and the deal has not seen any actual developments. Manchester City's interest in the Argentine player comes amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Spaniard Rodri, the team's midfield star, whose contract with City runs until the summer of 2027. Rodri has recently been linked with interest from Barcelona, ​​while there have been no clear indications of reaching an agreement to extend his contract with Manchester City, which has prompted the English club to consider some possible alternatives. Mac Allister is one of Liverpool's most prominent players, and he also delivered outstanding performances with the Argentine national team during the 2026 World Cup, where he participated in all of the "Tango Dancers'" matches in the tournament, which ended with them occupying second place after losing to Spain by one goal to nil in the final match. Mac Allister is 27 years old and is still under contract with Liverpool, which means any official move by Manchester City depends on the English club's position and the possibility of opening negotiations in the future.
