Máximo Perrone, a 23-year-old Argentinian and Spanish defensive midfielder for Como, has been identified as one of four potential candidates to replace Alexis Mac Allister at Liverpool and is considered the most rapidly developing of the listed options. Previously with Manchester City, Perrone was sold permanently to the Italian side in 2025 for a €13m fee and has since continued to improve. He has earned two caps for Argentina, and there is speculation that he could become Mac Allister's successor for both his club and national team. His contract with Como expires in June 2029, and his current market value is listed as €35.00m by Transfermarkt. Several Italian clubs, including Napoli, Juventus, and Inter, have also been linked with him.
