City Consider Surprise Raid on Premier League Rivals 
Manchester City are reportedly considering a shock move for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister as they prepare for the possible departure of Rodri.
Mac Allister has emerged as one of several midfield options being considered by City as they plan for a potential major change in the centre of the pitch.
The Argentina international's ability to play in different midfield roles is believed to be one of the reasons he has attracted City's attention.
Liverpool Face Difficult Decision
A move would be particularly dramatic because Mac Allister is an important Liverpool player and a transfer directly between the two Premier League rivals would be a major development.
There has reportedly been no contact between City and Liverpool yet, meaning the interest remains at an exploratory stage rather than an advanced transfer.
City are also pursuing other midfield targets, including Lille youngster Ayyoub Bouaddi, as they prepare for a possible Rodri exit.
For Liverpool fans, the biggest concern will be whether City turn their reported interest into a formal approach for one of the club's key midfielders.
