Manchester City have made contact with representatives of Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister to discuss a potential transfer, according to journalist Matt Teilen.
The 27-year-old Argentina international could become a target for Manchester City if Rodri Hernandez leaves the club this summer. The Premier League champions are reported to be considering Mac Allister as a possible option should the Spain midfielder depart.
No transfer has been confirmed, and the report does not state that Manchester City have made a formal offer for Mac Allister. The initial contact is understood to have been with the player’s representatives, with discussions focused on the possibility of a move.
Mac Allister joined Liverpool’s midfield last season and played 55 matches across all competitions. He scored five goals and provided seven assists during that campaign, underlining his importance to the team.
His current contract with Liverpool runs until 2028, meaning the club have the midfielder tied down for several more years. Any potential move would therefore involve Liverpool deciding whether to consider an approach for one of their established players.
The interest comes as Manchester City assess their midfield options in the event of Rodri Hernandez leaving this summer. Mac Allister’s possible availability has placed him on the radar of the English club, although there is currently no indication that a transfer has been agreed.
For Liverpool, the midfielder remains under contract and his performances last season made him an important part of the squad. During the campaign, he combined a regular presence in midfield with five goals and seven assists in 55 appearances in all competitions.
The report from Matt Teilen presents Manchester City’s contact with Mac Allister’s representatives as part of an early evaluation of a possible deal. The next step would depend on whether Rodri Hernandez leaves Manchester City and whether Liverpool are prepared to discuss the future of Mac Allister.
At present, the information concerns interest and exploratory contact rather than a completed transfer. Mac Allister’s contract with Liverpool is due to remain in place until 2028, while Manchester City’s reported consideration of the player is linked specifically to the potential departure of Rodri Hernandez this summer.
