Liverpool can change personnel in the midfield, Mac Allister is in Real Madrid's sights
Liverpool are considering revamping their midfield this summer, while Alexis Mac Allister could become a target for Real Madrid. His contract negotiations with Liverpool are facing difficulties and he may be open to a transfer to La Liga.
Liverpool are planning a midfield reshuffle this summer. The former Premier League champions struggled due to the poor performance of several players last season, which led to much speculation about their replacements. Adam Wharton and Lamine Camara are names that could join Anfield this summer, and these deals could affect current players.
Perhaps the biggest uncertainty today surrounds Alexis Mac Allister. This 27-year-old player is under contract with Liverpool until the summer of 2028 and is known as a target of Real Madrid. His father - Carlos - has denied that talks have taken place for a transfer to the Bernabeu. However, with no deal on the table and a lack of willingness to engage in negotiations, it is no surprise to see the former Brighton man could leave this summer.
"Mac Allister is on Real Madrid's radar for a move in the upcoming transfer window, which opens on July 1," said a report from El Desmarque. "If Florentino Pérez wins the presidential election, the attacking midfielder, who can also play as a defensive midfielder, will be a target for the Madrid club. Sources from Argentina confirmed that there are no ongoing negotiations to extend his contract with Liverpool, who are looking to streamline their squad.
Mac Allister's departure from Liverpool could come amid the club's ongoing financial and structural efforts. The midfielder has two years left on his contract, but he is not opposed to a move to La Liga, as he has not renewed his contract, which opens the door to other offers. Mac Allister is currently preparing to defend his FIFA World Cup title with his Argentina teammates. And Clarin in his homeland admits that a move to the Spanish capital is an attractive prospect for Liverpool's No.10 - while Atletico Madrid have also entered the race.
"Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid could be involved in a battle for Mac Allister's signature," the report states. "A move to Spain is an intriguing possibility for the Colorado native's son, who is under contract with the English club until June 2028.
Real Madrid's interest is not new, although in recent hours Diego Simeone has also expressed interest, already thinking about next season. Mac Allister did not show his best form in the 2025/26 season - a season that caused Arne Slot to lose his job as coach. Negotiations over a new deal will be difficult - considering Macca's status as a title winner and a veteran player. But the reality is that Richard Hughes is unlikely to consider his recent performances as worthy of a pay rise from his current £150,000 per week.
