Premier League
Liverpool is interested in signing Lucas Da Cunha, the French midfielder from Como, due to the potential departure of Alexis Mac Allister in the upcoming Premier League transfer market.
As revealed by sources from the Premier League on September 30, 2026, coach Andoni Iraola is requesting an additional player for midfield rotation in case Alexis Mac Allister is sold, estimating the operation at 30 million euros.
Renewal in Italy and accumulated competition in the Premier League
The 25-year-old midfielder recently extended his contract with Como until June 2031, a deal finalized before his first call-up for the French national team. Despite the Serie A renewal, interest from English football remains high, with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth monitoring the player's progress.
Additionally, Liverpool's technical staff is aware that Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Brighton have previously inquired about the player, along with ongoing interest from Atalanta, Napoli, and Roma in the Italian league.

Integration of Lucas Da Cunha into Andoni Iraola's tactics
Liverpool's sports management values the versatility of the French international to play both as a playmaker and in central midfield roles. The potential departure of Alexis Mac Allister in the near future necessitates securing a replacement with experience in European leagues.
The British board considers the 30 million euros transfer fee reasonable, planning structured negotiations with deferred payments to align the purchase with the annual budget.
Anfield's financial strategy against Italian competition
Liverpool's board aims to directly engage with the player's agents before his market value increases. The presence of Serie A clubs like Napoli and Roma pushes the English team to offer assurances of playing time in the Premier League.
Anfield executives trust in the financial strength of British football to outbid proposals from Italy. Liverpool scouts will attend the player's matches in the Serie A during October and November 2026.
If Como's board agrees to sell the French player, Liverpool will prepare an offer to persuade both the Italian club and the player, who might have the chance to join a significant project.
