Jose Mourinho is eager to sign such good players before his return to Real Madrid. – A chair you don’t stay in for long unless you do exceptionally well.
Barcelona, who have won La Liga for the second year in a row, are much more financially active this summer and, together with Atletico Madrid, have started a race unparalleled in the Spanish league.

Real Madrid will use their money power and “the special one” to secure some of the world’s biggest stars this summer.
Real Madrid are interested in signing the Argentine midfielder from Liverpool.
Real Madrid have started mapping the summer market to accommodate José Mourinho’s wishes. The Portuguese has formally asked to sign Alexis Mac Allister – taking advantage of the Argentine’s strong desire to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
Mourinho plans to use Mac Allister as a partner for France’s Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield – a duel that was recently confirmed with a contract extension. The club’s plan includes this move as a strategic market solution, and the financial feasibility is linked to Eduardo Camavinga’s departure to the Premier League.

Mourinho asks for Mac Allister signing
The Madrid management appreciates the Argentine’s willingness to push for a transfer from Anfield. The estimated transfer fee is around €70 million – making this a far more financially viable option than Enzo Fernández, who Chelsea will not let go of for less than €120 million.
Mac Allister is under contract with Liverpool until June 2028, but Spanish intermediaries have already made informal contact with the player’s inner circle.
Despite the fact that the South American playmaker had a slump individually last season – in tandem with Liverpool’s collective crisis – Mourinho has unlimited faith in his tactical qualities. He is convinced that the Argentine will regain his top level under his leadership, and be a brilliant reinforcement in Spain. His combination play and conceptual intelligence will form a luxurious midfield along with Tchouaméni’s physique and Jude Bellingham’s attacking qualities.
Accounting makes Mac Allister transition possible
Real Madrid’s ability to make this major investment is directly linked to Eduardo Camavinga’s immediate departure. The French midfielder is not part of Mourinho’s tactical plans for next season – and this has led to his agents already starting to prepare transfer offers from English football, where he enjoys great respect among top clubs.
Liverpool and Chelsea stand out as the main candidates in the Premier League to secure Camavinga. Real Madrid hope to use all the profits from the sale of the Frenchman to finance the €70 million Mac Allister transfer – and thus balance the budget without breaking La Liga’s financial rules.
The club is aware that Liverpool will not ease the negotiations, but the Argentine’s strong desire to leave Anfield serves as a useful pressure factor. As soon as Camavinga’s exit to London or Merseyside is finalized, the management in Madrid believes that the Mac Allister deal can be implemented quickly.
Mac Allister’s role in Mourinho’s tactics
Mac Allister will bring control, calmness and organizational cleverness to Mourinho’s system. His ability to dictate pace and maintain positional discipline ensures a clean ball exit from the defensive line, thus freeing up the attacking midfielders to create chances.
The sports management is very active in the hectic summer transfer window – and the priority is to give Mourinho the pieces he needs to compete for both local and European trophies.
The next few days will be crucial for formalizing services and coordinating medical testing. Full agreement prevails between sporting directors and coaching staff: the transformation of the midfield is the key to a new competitive era in Valdebebas. With the midfield defined, Real Madrid will maximise their commercial strategies to secure Mac Allister – thus creating a dominant midfield designed to assert itself at the very highest European level.
