Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool midfield transfer rumors have moved from noise to action, with the club starting calls for midfielders over the recent days and weeks. Liverpool’s rebuild is already reaching the part of the squad most exposed to change, and that pressure is now sitting on Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones.
Romano Sets Liverpool’s Pace
Romano said on his YouTube channel that Liverpool have started making calls for midfielders and added, “I expect movement in terms of midfielders.” That is the clearest sign yet that Liverpool are not waiting for the window to settle before testing the market.
The timing matters because Liverpool’s midfield is one of the main talking points this summer. With Arne Slot expected to arrive after the departure of Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, the shape of the team may change, and the midfield is one area where decisions can quickly become expensive if they are left too late.
Mac Allister’s Contract Clock
Mac Allister is the most sensitive name in the picture. His deal is moving into its last two years, and there is reported interest from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Romano’s line, “Let’s see what happens with the future of Mac Allister,” places that uncertainty right at the center of Liverpool’s planning.
He is also the kind of midfielder Liverpool cannot replace by simply matching roles. The report says Mac Allister is one of Liverpool’s most technically gifted and intelligent midfielders, yet there is a complication: he may not fully fit the high-energy style Andoni Iraola wants to play. That is the kind of mismatch clubs have to sort out before it turns into a late-window scramble.
Curtis Jones And The Window
Jones adds a different kind of pressure. He is heading into the final year of his contract, which puts Liverpool on a tighter timeline than they would prefer for a player in the middle of a broader summer rebuild. Once a contract reaches that point, the club has to decide whether to extend, sell, or let the market dictate the value.
Which midfielders Liverpool are targeting is not identified, but the direction is clear: the calls have already started, the contract clock is ticking on Jones, and Mac Allister’s future is now part of the same conversation. Liverpool are not just shopping for depth; they are trying to shape the next version of a midfield that could look different by the end of the summer.
