Xabi Alonso plans to use his Liverpool connections to sign Alexis Mac Allister for Real Madrid - reports
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in Alexis Mac Allister as Xabi Alonso aims to strengthen the midfield this summer, according to Real Madrid Confidencial. Alonso plans to use his Liverpool connections to try and secure the Argentine midfielder.
Mac Allister joined Liverpool in 2023 and is now seen as a key target for Alonso. The 26-year-old World Cup winner is praised for his technical skills and tactical awareness, with Alonso valuing his ability to control the game and perform in important moments.
The deal is expected to be difficult. Mac Allister’s contract at Liverpool runs until 2028, and the club are known for demanding a high price. Real Madrid understand that negotiating a lower fee will be a challenge.
Real Madrid are also considering the futures of Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos. Modric is likely to extend his contract but may play fewer minutes, while Ceballos could leave if he does not get a regular role. The club will watch how these situations develop before making decisions on new signings.
