Liverpool get one over Manchester City with future of 19-goal star confirmed

Liverpool get one over Manchester City with future of 19-goal star confirmed Liverpool have been in the headlines a lot over the last couple of weeks. The Anfield outfit were expected to massively change their ranks after their less than ideal 2025-26 season. Their fifth-place finish was an embarrassment, especially after they'd only just won the Premier League title. Nobody could have anticipated that the Reds almost didn't qualify for the Champions League and, even now that it's happened, it's still quite hard to believe. Fortunately, they managed to pull themselves together but, that hasn't stopped many different rumours from emerging. And, now that we're entering the final weeks of the summer window, silly season is likely to get underway and at the moment, that is exactly what's happening. Alexis Mac Allister will not be sold by Liverpool despite his recent links with Manchester City Liverpool have added three new players to their first-team squad this summer. , Victor Munoz and Ronald Araujo will all be massively helpful to Liverpool's chances of earning some silverware . However, with all of these players being brought in, there are obviously going to have to be some cuts, especially now all 17 of Liverpool's non-homegrown spots in their squad are filled up. This has led to many different rumours emerging and now, after Alexis Mac Allister was linked with a shock move to Manchester City, The Athletic have seemed to set the record straight and eased the worries of the Reds' fanbase. "Another player not likely to move is Alexis Mac Allister , who has been linked with various clubs over the past week," they wrote . "Mac Allister joined Liverpool’s pre-season on Monday having had an extended post-World Cup break and is expected to be a key part of the squad this season. "With Curtis Jones’ future uncertain, it’s unlikely the club would listen to offers for a second senior midfielder so close to the new season, even with Mac Allister only having two years left on his contract." Liverpool need to continue strengthening their team, rather than weakening it One thing that was made abundantly clear last season is that Liverpool barely had enough depth to cover their ranks. Injuries plagued Slot 's men and, since they spent all of their money replacing those that had exited, they failed to build up their back-up options which led to many questions being asked. In fact, the Dutchman was actually relieved of his duties due to the underperformance of his men. And, thanks to this poor form, even more additions need to be made this summer. Indeed, Liverpool are a sell-to-buy club but, with the way that things have panned out, they can't really afford to lose someone as important as Mac Allister . Links with several other players potentially joining are starting to emerge but, until some concrete moves are made, it's hard to get excited about what the future has in store for Liverpool. Here's hoping they step things up in the final few weeks and actually get some more deals over the line.
