Liverpool may be considering a midfield rebuild, having last made significant changes in 2023 with new signings including Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai. Alexis Mac Allister, also signed that year, has not received a new contract. Sky Sports reports a 'concrete possibility' of Mac Allister leaving.

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Mac Allister, creating an opportunity for Liverpool to pursue a swap deal. Eduardo Camavinga, a defensive midfielder, is considered for a potential swap, with the Value Adder model rating him highly.

A swap deal involving Mac Allister and Camavinga is considered a viable option, as it would allow Liverpool to refresh their midfield while minimizing the loss of a key player. Camavinga is seen as an elite-level footballer who could thrive at Liverpool.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Liverpool appear to have the door open for a massive swap deal with Real Madrid. This would be simply incredible. Liverpool's midfield looks ripe for a bit of a rebuild. It would come around four years since the last one, when Jurgen Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke made dramatic changes in 2023. That rebuild had fantastic results, of course, as Liverpool would win the Premier League title in 2025. Though, they haven't really touched the group since, with Curtis Jones even leaving this summer without a replacement. We fully expect Liverpool to make changes to their midfield in 2027, then.
