According to Alan Nixon, Liverpool are prepared to sell midfielder Alexis Mac Allister to finance the acquisition of Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, who has a potential cost of approximately $134 million (£100 million).

According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, could sell Alexis Mac Allister in the summer transfer window if they receive good offers for the midfielder. Romano stated that some clubs are starting to look at Alexis Mac Allister's situation at Liverpool. He added that the situation could be interesting this summer if good proposals are made for Liverpool and for the player. Romano clarified that this does not mean Mac Allister is certain to leave, but that the situation could eventually develop during the summer transfer window if a good proposal is made for the club and the player.

David Lynch said on Anfield Index that he thinks Alexis Mac Allister is completely gone. Lynch stated that the physicality in the player's game has declined from a level that was not great to begin with to a point where he can no longer play Premier League football. Lynch also stated that it would be a failure for him if Mac Allister is still at the club next season. It is stated that it would not be surprising if the Reds were to consider offers for his services this summer. In April, the Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele reported that talks over a new deal had stalled, and The Times’ Paul Joyce reported that Mac Allister’s Anfield future was in doubt going into the summer. TEAMtalk had reported that it was a strong possibility that Mac Allister and Curtis Jones would both leave Liverpool this summer.

The Telegraph reports that Alexis Mac Allister could leave Liverpool this summer, and that offers for him might be accepted to help balance the club's finances, despite the club's ideal preference to keep him for a longer period.
