Galatasaray plot shock move for Liverpool midfielder

Liverpool’s willingness to sanction a departure remains unclear.

Liverpool are continuing to reshape their squad following a difficult campaign that ended with a fifth-place Premier League finish.

The Reds struggled for consistency despite significant investment and eventually replaced Arne Slot with Andoni Iraola.

Their summer rebuild has already brought several changes at Anfield. Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz have arrived, while Ronald Araujo has joined on loan from Barcelona with an option to buy.

Liverpool have also experienced significant departures, leaving Iraola with plenty of work before the new campaign begins.

However, another unexpected exit could now become a possibility following reported interest from Turkey.

According to Yeni Asir, Galatasaray are interested in signing Alexis Mac Allister and have started exploring the conditions required to complete a deal for the Liverpool midfielder.

The Turkish champions want to strengthen their midfield further as they prepare to compete domestically and pursue their European ambitions.

Galatasaray are therefore monitoring Mac Allister’s situation closely as they assess whether an ambitious approach could become realistic.

The 27-year-old has established himself at Liverpool after previously playing for Brighton. He also played an important role for Argentina during their successful 2022 World Cup campaign.

However, completing the transfer would present major difficulties for Galatasaray. Mac Allister remains under contract at Anfield until 2028.

And Liverpool’s willingness to sanction a departure remains unclear. That represents the biggest obstacle surrounding the potential operation.

Galatasaray can explore the financial requirements and the player’s situation, but any meaningful progress would ultimately depend on Liverpool opening the door to negotiations.

For now, the Turkish club’s interest remains at an exploratory stage rather than an advanced transfer.

Nevertheless, targeting a player of Mac Allister’s profile underlines Galatasaray’s ambition as they look to reinforce a championship-winning squad and strengthen their prospects in European competition.

Liverpool must now decide whether the Argentine remains central to Iraola’s plans or whether an unexpected opportunity could develop before the transfer window closes.
