Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid. Transfer insider Indy Kaila reports that the Spanish giants are interested in the 26-year-old, and Liverpool could be open to selling him if the price is right.
While a January transfer is possible, a summer move appears more likely, as Liverpool would prefer not to lose such a key player midway through the season. After a slow start to their campaign, the Reds need their core squad intact to stage a strong comeback. Mac Allister has previously been praised as “absolutely magnificent.”
The club has already set a valuation for the 2022 World Cup winner and is ready to sanction a sale if the asking price is met. Plans are also in place to bring in a top-class defensive midfielder to reinforce the squad.
Liverpool currently have central midfielders like Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, but they lack a specialist defensive midfielder capable of shielding the backline and breaking up attacks. Gravenberch has been used in this role, but the Dutch international excels further up the pitch. Deploying him defensively limits his strengths, making it crucial for Liverpool to sign a midfield enforcer to maximize Gravenberch’s impact.
Meanwhile, Mac Allister has established himself in the Premier League with both Brighton and Liverpool, winning the league title along the way. A move to Real Madrid could represent an exciting new challenge for him, as the club is widely regarded as one of the biggest in the world. How the situation unfolds remains to be seen.
