Most people expected the 2024/25 campaign to be one of the battles and hardships on the part of Liverpool leaving their glorious times. However, FSG always knew that it was beginning a new journey that could produce similar levels of success.
And while Arne Slot’s tenure is still in the hilly zone, Liverpool’s head coach has already expanded Premier League Mountain, sealing off the club’s 20th league title and leveling with Manchester United at the most successful club in England’s top flight history.

But this is a bunch of hungry players with a victory mentality. Their appetites are not filled with domestic Cups and Champions League Crown Roads, which have been closed at this season’s immature stage, especially given the Carabao Cup’s ultimate defeat to Newcastle United.
Of course, Mohamed Sarah and Captain Virgil van Dik lead the charges, but Alexis Mac Alistair has quietly been doing his business.
Mac Allister, Untung Hero in Liverpool
Mac Allister is recognized as one of the best situations in the entire football landscape, but there is still a lingering sense that he doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves.
Signed by Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023 for an eye-catching £35 million, the Mac Allister brought energy, leadership and integrity to the Anfield Engine Room. Sky Sports’ “Dougie Critchley” called him “the outstanding midfielder of the league’s outstanding team” last week.
The Mac Allister operates under the superficiality of statistical analysis, overseeing and dominating from the park’s heart, and is extremely important to Klopp and now the valuable Premier League champion Slot.
Of course, this does not mean that Argentina International is not a good read in terms of data.

Liverpool may have jumped at the opportunity to sign another midfielder cut from such a cloth and found the perfect target to complete the midfield of the slot.
Liverpool is looking at new midfielders
According to a Spanish report, Liverpool is preparing a bid for Stuttgart star Angelo Stiller of €60 million (£51 million), with slots giving personal approval for potential deals.
Transfer focus
Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions across Football FanCust.
The 24-year-old Stiller is considered to be one of Europe’s most underrated midfielders, and has a modern talent that thrives as one of the continent’s biggest hitters.
The athletics then offered 50 cents to the Reds’ profits, revealing that Stuttgart number six was seen as an alternative to Martin Zubimendi last summer when the Spaniards rejected Liverpool and supported him staying in the actual Sociedad.
Obviously, he has the right kind of skill set to thrive under the wings of the slot.
What Angelo Stiller brings to Liverpool
Stiller knows the path around the pass. It is even said to be likened to his respected German teammate Joshua Kimic, Stuttgart’s Pier Dennis is “one of the best sixes that Germany has.”
Over 44 appearances in all competitions this season, Germany scored four goals and provided nine assists to its teammates.
Sitting at the foot of Stuttgart’s midfield, Stiller is a creative and combative force in the Bundesliga this season, earning 62% of his passes while garnering eight assists from 30 fixtures, creating 13 big opportunities per sofa call, and averages 1.6 ball recovery.
For those booking to do it at the highest level, Stiller has already introduced his playmaking skills in the Champions League this season, ranking in the top 2% of the central midfielders of European elite competitions on pass this season.
The action of creating a shot is a game that leads to a shot. These include moments like passing, take-on, fouls and more.
Strangely enough, Liverpool’s Mac Allister is listed as one of Stiller’s most comparable players when retrieving such data.
Stiller, as pointed out in Critchley, is a “special” player with a talented skill level, and is a Liverpool signature perfect for following in the footsteps of the Mac Allister, and could have similar prospects for midfield games.
However, given that he was previously identified as the perfect replacement for Zubimendi by FSG analysts, there is no reason the two midfielders couldn’t work with Liverpool’s fluent conjunctions next season.
Another Spanish publication recently revealed that Liverpool will only consider a total of £85 million offer for Mac Alistair’s sale to Real Madrid, but that won’t dissipate as Los Blancos’ desires are there this summer, and Luka Modric will end at the end of his historic career in Spain.
Stiller has proven to be a centrepiece for Liverpool for many years, and has already made progress in his hometown, attracting the attention of a team that has just won a Premier League title.
His portrait of Merseyside superstar Mac Alistair would convince the boss that he is the man of his job.
