Alexis Mac Allister has named a present Premier League participant as one man who he’d like to have as a teammate at Liverpool.
The 26-year-old is amongst a number of members of the World Cup-winning Argentina squad who at the moment are primarily based within the English high flight, with one particularly being pinpointed because the midfielder’s dream signing for the Reds.
Mac Allister names dream Liverpool teammate
Our quantity 10 was requested by TNT Sports activities to call a participant that he’d prefer to see becoming a member of him at Anfield, and his speedy reply was Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Cristian Romero (who’s spoken very extremely of the previous Brighton star prior to now).
Mac Allister defined (through GOAL): “Oh, Cuti (Romero’s nickname). He’s a participant I really like. The way in which he speaks and performs, generally you’re feeling like he’s an excessive amount of as a result of he makes every thing really easy. He provides me confidence. For me, he’s been the very best centre-back on this planet for a number of years.”

Mac Allister unlikely to be joined by Romero at Liverpool
The Liverpool star clearly is aware of the Spurs defender very effectively from their time within the Argentina nationwide crew and shall be absolutely conscious of the latter’s qualities, however would the 27-year-old be a believable choice for FSG any time quickly?
As per FBrefhe averaged extra tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes final season (3.57) than Virgil van Dijk (2.54) and Ibrahima Konate (2.01), however on the entire he wouldn’t look like an improve on both of the Reds’ major two centre-backs.
For instance, Romero had the bottom go success price of these three gamers (89.5%, in comparison with the LFC captain’s 91.6% and the Frenchman’s 90.2%) and the bottom proportion of aerial duels gained (60.3%, 72.1% and 71.8% respectively).
One other pink flag with the Argentine is his damage document, having had three separate absences over the previous yr which dominated him out for a mixed 27 matches (Switch market) – it doesn’t precisely scream reliability.
His self-discipline will be questionable, too, with Gary Neville having been particularly essential of 1 problem that the 27-year-old made on worldwide teammate Enzo Fernandez when Tottenham misplaced at dwelling to Chelsea in 2023/24.
Mac Allister clearly has a variety of affection for the Spurs defender, which is comprehensible provided that they’re teammates for his or her nation. With the best of respect, although, we wouldn’t have him in Liverpool’s line-up forward of both Van Dijk or Konate.
