Liverly's Alexis Mac Allister may unexpectedly depart for a major £100 million transfer, according to recent media reports
Alexis Mac Allister, the 26-year-old midfield maestro, continues to attract attention from some of the world's top clubs, with Spanish giants Real Madrid reportedly showing a keen interest in securing his services.
Currently a key player for Liverpool, Mac Allister has already etched his name in football history by winning the World Cup, Premier League, and Copa America. His impressive form has earned him the third spot in our website's ranking of the best central midfielders in the world.
His play-style, characterised by power, grit, and determination, complements that of Ryan Gravenberch, creating a balanced midfield base for Liverpool. However, his importance to the team and the remaining three years on his contract make a potential transfer to Real Madrid a complicated affair.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid, under the management of Xabi Alonso, is keen on signing Mac Allister, with Alonso personally pushing for the deal. Although specific transfer values provided by Transfermarkt are not available, the Spanish club is said to be preparing a bid of around €100 million for the talented midfielder.
Despite the interest in Mac Allister, Real Madrid is not expected to make a move for him this season, instead choosing to monitor his situation. Meanwhile, Liverpool should be wary of losing such a vital player and may look to secure his future at Anfield.
In the event of a departure, the signing of Florian Wirtz could soften the blow, but it would be difficult for either Curtis Jones nor Dominik Szoboszlai to replicate Mac Allister's ability and level in Liverpool's midfield.
Mac Allister's stunning strike against Tottenham effectively sealed Liverpool's 20th Premier League title, and he is expected to play a starring role in the new season alongside Wirtz. The Argentine midfielder is a vital player for Arne Slot's Liverpool team, and his potential departure would leave a significant void.
Spanish outlet Fichajes believes that Mac Allister is one of Real Madrid's top targets to bolster their midfield, with the player being part of a three-man shortlist drawn up by the club, along with Enzo Fernandez and Nicolo Barella. Each deal for Mac Allister, Fernandez, or Barella is considered complicated, but Real Madrid's interest in Mac Allister remains undeniable.
Mac Allister's exceptional performances in the Premier League have caught the eye of multiple European-leagues clubs, with Real Madrid specifically aiming to secure his services for their midfield, as reported by Spanish outlet Fichajes. Given his key role in Liverpool's football successes, a potential transfer could significantly impact the European-leagues, particularly the Premier League.
