Alexis Mac Allister has expressed his desire for Liverpool to sign a Tottenham star, who he claims to be the “best in the world” in his positio
“Bring Him to Anfield!” – Mac Allister Names the One Player He Wants at Liverpool
Alexis Mac Allister didn’t hesitate for a second. When asked by TNT Sports which player he’d love to see join him at Liverpool, the Argentine midfielder immediately dropped one name: Cristian “Cuti” Romero.
No surprise, really. The two know each other inside out from their time with the national team — and it’s clear Mac Allister’s admiration for Romero goes beyond simple national pride.
> “Oh, Cuti. He’s a player I love,” Mac Allister said. “The way he speaks and plays, sometimes you feel like he’s too much because he makes everything so easy. He gives me confidence. For me, he’s been the best centre-back in the world for several years.”
That’s high praise from a World Cup winner — and it says a lot about the bond they’ve built during Argentina’s golden run.
A Partnership Forged in Glory
Mac Allister and Romero were both key figures in Argentina’s Copa América 2024 triumph and the unforgettable World Cup win in 2022. On the pitch, their chemistry is effortless — and off it, there’s clearly a deep level of respect.
With Liverpool looking to reinforce under Arne Slot, especially at the back, you can’t blame Mac Allister for wanting to bring that level of trust and quality to Merseyside.
But… Don’t Get Your Hopes Up Just Yet
While fans might start dreaming of Romero in red, the reality is a bit more complicated.
The Spurs defender is currently being tracked by Atletico Madrid, and from the sounds of it, he wouldn’t mind a move to Spain. In fact, he basically said as much:
> “I’d love to play in La Liga. I like watching a lot of games, and I have a lot of teammates who play there in Spain. It’s one of the leagues I’d like to play in.”
That alone might not be enough to force Tottenham’s hand — but the interest is clearly real.
Tottenham Playing Hardball
According to AS, Spurs have slapped a €70 million (£59m) price tag on Romero, and it’s already making Atletico hesitate. Whether Liverpool would even entertain a bid at that price remains to be seen.
And with Romero being one of Spurs’ most valuable assets, Daniel Levy isn’t likely to make it easy for anyone — let alone a direct Premier League rival.
The Verdict?
It’s probably a long shot right now, but Mac Allister’s shout isn’t just sentiment — it’s smart football thinking. Romero is elite, proven, and still young. If there’s even a slim chance of him wearing Liverpool red one day, most fans would be all in.
For now, though, it’s just a dream. But in football, we’ve seen wilder things come true.
