“He gives me confidence” – Alexis Mac Allister names Premier League rival as player he wants Liverpool to sign

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has claimed that he would love to play alongside Tottenham Hotspur star Cristian Romero at the Reds.

During a recent chat with TNT Sports, Mac Allister was queried to name a star he would like his current club to sign in the future. The Liverpool ace replied (h/t Sport Witness):

Romero, 27, is regarded one of the best centre-backs in the world owing to his great performances for both Tottenham and Argentina. He helped Spurs win the UEFA Europa League crown last season. He also guided his national team to the 2022 FIFA World Cup trophy and the Copa America crowns in 2021 and 2024.

Since departing Atalanta in the summer of 2021, Romero has played for Tottenham 124 times across all competitions. He has netted seven goals and laid out three assists for the north London outfit so far.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has provided his thoughts on Julian Alvarez reportedly attracting attention from top European teams. He told Argentine outlet La Nacion (h/t Metro):

Opining more on the 46-cap Argentina international, Simeone added:

Alvarez, 25, has found the back of the net 29 times and registered seven assists in 54 appearances in all competitions for Atletico Madrid so far.

During his time at Manchester City, the River Plate youth product scored 36 goals and provided 19 assists in 103 matches across all competitions.
