Liverpool Eye Lautaro Martinez After Mac Allister’s Recommendation
Is Lautaro Martinez the next superstar signing for Liverpool? Reports from El Crack Deportivo via Anfield Watch suggest the club is seriously exploring a move for the Inter Milan striker—strongly pushed by Alexis Mac Allister.
Mac Allister Advocates for Lautaro
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has encouraged the club’s leadership to target Lautaro, highlighting their successful chemistry while playing for Argentina. The duo played crucial roles in winning the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America.
He believes Lautaro would fit seamlessly into Liverpool’s evolving attack, offering leadership, experience, and consistent goal-scoring ability.
Liverpool’s Striker Situation
With Darwin Núñez attracting interest from Al-Nassr and Diogo Jota being eyed by European clubs, Liverpool are actively looking for reliable attacking reinforcements.
While names like Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, and Jonathan David remain on the shortlist, Lautaro’s track record and winning mentality make him a standout option.
Lautaro’s Incredible Form
- 21 goals in Serie A (2024/25)
- 8 goals in the Champions League
- Golden Boot winner at the 2024 Copa America
- Inter Milan’s captain, known for stepping up in big matches
At 27, he’s at his peak and one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards.
Financial Hurdles
Inter reportedly value Lautaro at €100 million, which would make him one of Liverpool’s most expensive signings—possibly exceeding their reported £116 million deal for Florian Wirtz.
Still, with new head coach Arne Slot aiming to build a title-challenging squad, the club may be ready to invest heavily in proven talent.
What to Expect Next
With Mac Allister quietly pushing the deal and the summer window in full swing, attention now turns to whether Liverpool will submit a formal offer—and if Lautaro is open to joining the Premier League.
