Liverpool identify Máximo Perrone as potential replacement for Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool are scouting Como midfielder Máximo Perrone as they evaluate potential replacements for Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentinian international has not been offered a contract extension by the club, and his future remains uncertain following a decline in performance during the previous season. While Liverpool recently secured new deals for Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, the club hierarchy reportedly views the midfield as the next area for improvement. Napoli, Juventus, and Inter are also monitoring the 23-year-old Perrone, who is viewed by Liverpool as a successor for both the club and the Argentina national team. No transfer fee has been finalized for the midfielder, who is a core player at Como with 136 career appearances.
