'He makes everything easy!' - Alexis Mac Allister expresses desire for Liverpool to sign 'best in the world' Tottenham star

<p>Mac Allister has made a passionate case for his club to pursue a transfer for fellow Argentine international Cristian Romero, praising the defender as one of the finest in the world. When asked by <em>TNT Sports</em> to name a player he would want to join him at Anfield, Mac Allister instantly responded with Romero’s name. His reasoning went beyond national camaraderie, pointing instead to Romero’s quality on the pitch and the trust he inspires during matches.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>“Oh, Cuti [Romero]. He’s a player I love,” said the World Cup winner. "The way he speaks and plays, sometimes you feel like he’s too much because he makes everything so easy. He gives me confidence. For me, he’s been the best centre-back in the world for several years." </p>

WHAT MAC ALLISTER SAID

<p>Mac Allister and Romero have built a strong partnership on the international stage, featuring prominently in Argentina’s recent success. Both players were part of the squads that lifted the Copa America in 2024 and the 2022 World Cup. The duo’s on-field chemistry and mutual respect are evident, and Mac Allister now appears eager to bring that connection to Merseyside, where Liverpool are looking to strengthen under Arne Slot following a successful Premier League campaign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Despite Mac Allister’s hopeful endorsement, a move to Liverpool for Romero appears improbable in the short term. The Tottenham defender is <a href="http://goal.com/en/lists/atletico-madrid-attempt-sign-cristian-romero-tottenham-daniel-levy-sets-price-europa-league-triumph/blt50fefb01589ed233" target="_blank">being pursued by Atletico Madrid</a>, and the defender has done little to silence the speculation, telling reporters: "I'd love to play in La Liga. I'd love to play in La Liga. I like watching a lot of games, and I have a lot of teammates who play there in Spain, and we watch them. It's one of the leagues I'd like to play in."</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Although interest in Romero continues to grow, Tottenham Hotspur are in no mood to part ways with their prized asset without a fight. According to reports from AS, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/atletico-madrid-attempt-sign-cristian-romero-tottenham-daniel-levy-sets-price-europa-league-triumph/blt50fefb01589ed233#cs01c49f069572052a" target="_blank">Spurs have set a firm asking price </a>of €70 million (£59m/$79m), a figure that has reportedly caused Atletico to think twice. </p>
