MAC ALLISTER TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL FC? Contract Decision Sparks Major Debate

NEWSROUND PART 2.

Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround on Anfield Index, with Alexis Mac Allister's Liverpool future and the club's midfield recruitment plans dominating the discussion.

Despite Mac Allister's impressive performances under Andoni Iraola this season, reports suggest Liverpool are not currently planning to offer the Argentine midfielder a new contract as they consider a longer-term rebuild.

Dave revisits David Lynch's argument that Liverpool should resist extending Mac Allister's deal, even if his excellent form continues, and examines the difficult decisions facing the club.

Attention then turns to Liverpool's midfield transfer shortlist, with Lamine Camara and Alex Scott emerging as prominent names. Dave analyses their contrasting profiles, alongside alternatives including Sergi Altimira, Manu Koné and Felix Nmecha.

Steven Gerrard's belief that Liverpool still lack a powerful, defensively minded midfielder also raises an important question: should the Reds prioritise a Fabinho-style holding player or a more dynamic, ball-winning midfielder?

With January recruitment looking uncertain, Dave assesses Liverpool's options and whether the club can afford to delay strengthening such an important area of the squad.

Should Liverpool extend Mac Allister's contract? Is Lamine Camara the ideal signing? And what type of midfielder does Iraola really need?

All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis.
