Explained in plain English

Can Liverpool sell Mac Allister anyway?

Yes, a club can sell a player even if they want to stay, as long as a buyer meets the club's valuation. Players are assets, and clubs often sell to raise funds or if a player's contract is running down, risking them leaving for free. This is a common part of football's business model.
