Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards has been keen to bring him to the club last summer but were unable to do so with negotiations stalling and Alvarez joining Atletico Madrid instead.

That summer Liverpool had to deal with their main rivals for the Premier League title in Manchester City. This summer, negotiations will be with a team who are not a direct domestic rival and that could make things smoother for the Reds.

Alvarez has continued to perform to high standards at Atletico and Liverpool are convinced he would be worth shattering their club record for with his current valuation at £100m.

And the Reds will be confident they will have the funds to afford it as well. Anfield Watch exclusively revealed Liverpool are open to selling the trio of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz this summer - and their sales could more than recoup £100m.

Why Liverpool star confirms it would be a dream for Julian Alvarez to join Reds

As a former Manchester City forward there will be question marks about how motivated Alvarez would be t link up with the club's arch rivals.

However, there is one factor that pretty much all but confirms Alvarez's stance.

And that factor is Alexis Mac Allister. Anfield Watch understands Mac Allister is one of Alvarez's closest friends in football and he played a role in the charm offensive to convince him to join the Reds last summer.

The pair's relationship goes back years, and it's a very close one.

You only need to understand how close they are by taking a look at the crazy helicopter stunt they pulled after Argentina's World Cup victory in 2022 when they boarded a helicopter to escape the crowds in Buenos Aires.

The intimate relationship is clear for all to see in the images they shared on social media from that journey.

Another incident that demonstrates how close they are is from last summer when Alexis Mac Allister set up Alvarez to score the opening goal in the Copa America for Argentina against Canada.

It was a huge moment for Alvarez to get off the mark in the tournament but there were no celebrations from him, he immediately rushed to Mac Allister writhing on the floor to make sure his teammate was okay in an emotional declaration for his affection of the Liverpool star.

"I got a nice blow. I just saw the play and I liked how Juli [Alvarez] came to support me there. The important thing is that we were able to score the goal," Mac Allister told reporters after the game in the mixed zone.

The duo have a great chemistry on the pitch. In the 35 games they have played together, they have won 29 matches since 2020 and have lost just four times.

Their relationship blossomed during the Olympic qualifying tournament in 2020 and since then they have gone onto win the World Cup and Copa America together.

Teaming up at club level would be a dream come true for both and that is why Alvarez will very much be enticed to join Liverpool.
