Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine midfielder for Liverpool, has become one of the possible signings for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s midfield could get a new name on the list of great talents, and it is none other than Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentine footballer from Liverpool has appeared on the radar of the Spanish club as one of the most attractive options to strengthen the midfield. His technical profile, understanding of the game and ability to organise the game from scratch make him a sought-after player for those at Chamartín, who have already started to assess his contract situation in England.

The Insane Price of Alexis Mac Allister
Still, it doesn’t seem like the team from Anfield is willing to negotiate easily. The management of Liverpool has taken a firm stance: the World Cup winner will only leave the club if they receive an offer above 100 million euros. This sum complicates Real Madrid’s plans, because while they value the midfielder’s qualities highly, they are not willing to pay just any price. Inside the white club, they are aware that they have to measure every step carefully in a market where the sums have skyrocketed.
Mac Allister, on the other hand, is thriving in the Premier League, where he has established himself as one of the most reliable midfielders in the league. His role at Liverpool has become increasingly important throughout the season, and he is a key player both in the build-up to the game and in the pressure after losing the ball. His adaptation to the English game has been quick, which has further increased his value in the international market.
At Valdebebas, they value the addition of a player who fits into that generational change in midfield, but not at any price. At the moment, the Argentine international is still under contract in England, while Real Madrid are considering their moves without haste.
