Liverpool are crystal clear €70 million must be put on the table to open Alexis Mac Allister talks
Real Madrid have already received a clear message from Liverpool: No call starts below 70 million euros. Now Florentino Pérez is calibrating the timing of sending the first bid for Alexis Mac Allister – José Mourinho’s big midfield dream.
Real Madrid know perfectly well what their first offer must be to start negotiations with Liverpool for the signing of Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentine remains one of José Mourinho’s wishes for the midfield in this winter transfer market.

According to Sky Germany and journalist Ben Jacobs, the Anfield management has no plans to treat any proposals lower than this to give the green light to negotiations. The financial claim is already on the table with Real Madrid’s sports commission – following Mourinho’s explicit request to bring in the world champion for the attack on the Champions League.
The unshakable threshold at Anfield
At the Santiago Bernabéu offices, they are fully aware that the English club does not offer discounts. Despite the estimated transfer value for the Argentine being estimated at €61.9 million, the Merseyside club have set €70 million as a minimum – and unwavering – threshold to justify a mid-season transfer.
Liverpool are planning to rebuild their midfield with another major signing next year, and intend to finance the rebuild by demanding this amount from Madrid. If Real Madrid do not reach the financial floor already in their first formal proposal, “The Reds” will leave any suitor waiting until later windows.
Liverpool refuse to renew – Mac Allister admits it himself
The necessity of defining the transfer terms lies in the deadlocked negotiation to extend the contract, which expires in June 2028. Both Ben Jacobs and Sky Germany confirm that the management at Anfield has decided not to offer Mac Allister an extension – a decision the player himself has admitted:
“We are in a situation where I have a year and a half left on my contract. Last season I was told that the club’s plan was not to renew my contract, at least for now. And well, it was obviously a painful situation. I think today I am in a position where anything can happen and we will see in the future. Anything can happen before I am a free agent.
Selling in 2027 – before the value falls
This institutional distancing places Liverpool in a situation where they must strategically sell the player during 2027 – before he enters the final year of his contract and suffers an inevitable drop in value.
Knowing that the footballer is eager to make the move to the Santiago Bernabéu, and that José Mourinho sees him as the ideal playmaker to complement Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and Bernardo Silva, Florentino Pérez is already calibrating the exact moment to deliver the necessary proposal.
The timeline is clear
Direct negotiations between intermediaries and envoys from both clubs will be activated in the first half of December 2026. With the contract outlook clear, Real Madrid will formalise the €70 million proposal to convince Liverpool – and secure Alexis Mac Allister’s transfer in early January 2027.
