Liverpool eye £85m boost to fund Alex Scott bid

Andoni Iraola faces a squad rebuild before the 2026-27 season. Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah are set to leave on free transfers. World Cup performances could influence his decisions. Liverpool have been linked with several targets and received a potential £85 million influx from the sale of Alexis Mac Allister. The cash could enable a £60 million purchase of Alex Scott from Bournemouth. Santi Aouna identified Vitinha, William Saliba, Alexis Mac Allister and Erling Haaland as Real Madrid's ideal recruitment targets. Saliba is highlighted as a long‑desired player for the Spanish club. Alexis Mac Allister struggled in the 2025‑26 season, showing limited running and few assists, falling below his usual standards. Despite the dip, he remains part of Real Madrid's shortlist. Alex Scott, a young English midfielder, is priced at £60 million by Bournemouth, described as a steal if Liverpool secure additional funds from Mac Allister's sale. The potential £85 million from Mac Allister plus an extra £25 million would put Liverpool in a strong buying position. Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo have also been linked with possible exits as Liverpool plan a major squad overhaul.
