Liverpool could be planning a major transfer for the upcoming season, with Lautaro Martinez now being linked to the club. Reports indicate that Alexis Mac Allister has recommended his Argentine national teammate to Liverpool’s management.
According to El Crack Deportivo (via Anfield Watch), Mac Allister is eager to reunite with Lautaro at club level. The pair have developed strong chemistry playing for Argentina and have shared success on the international stage. Mac Allister believes Martinez could be the solution to Liverpool’s attacking needs and is urging the club to pursue the transfer.
Liverpool’s Search for a Striker
With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, Liverpool is reportedly in the market for a new forward. Nunez attracted interest from Al-Nassr earlier this year, while Jota has been linked with several European clubs.
In addition to Martinez, Liverpool have also been linked to players like Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Jonathan David. However, Lautaro stands out due to his proven track record and recent form.
Lautaro’s Impressive Form
Currently enjoying a stellar season with Inter Milan, Lautaro Martinez has netted 21 goals in Serie A and 8 more in the UEFA Champions League, helping Inter reach the semi-finals. He also secured the Golden Boot at the 2024 Copa America, playing a key role in Argentina’s triumph.
Given his current form and impact, Martinez has outperformed both Nunez and Jota in terms of goal contributions this season. Still, Inter Milan are likely to demand a hefty fee—reportedly around €100 million—which could make him Liverpool’s most expensive signing if the transfer goes through
