Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has emerged as a target for Real Madrid, with the Reds demanding €100 million to sell him.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are keen on securing the signature of Alexis Mac Allister, and they will demand €100 million for his services. The 26-year-old has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club, and he has established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet.
The South American midfielder’s departure will be a massive blow for Liverpool, and it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are willing to follow up on their interest by paying up the nine-figure sum. They need to build a midfield for the future, and the Argentine International would be a quality addition.
Real Madrid have brought in several quality players in recent windows, but they need a midfield controller who can replace Luka Modric in the long run. Alexis Mac Allister has shown his quality for club and country, and there is no doubt that he can succeed in La Liga as well.
The player could be tempted to move to Real Madrid if there is a concrete proposal ahead of him. South American players tend to prefer a move to La Liga, and Real Madrid are widely regarded as the biggest club in the world. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Could Mac Allister pursue a new challenge?
Liverpool are currently fighting for the Premier League title, and if they manage to go all the way, Alexis Mac Allister might feel that he has nothing left to prove in England and that he could look to try out a new challenge.
It will be interesting to see whether the two clubs can iron out an agreement. There is no doubt that Real Madrid have the financial resources to pay the reported €100 million asking price for the player.
Meanwhile, replacing Mac Allister will be a major challenge for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen who they decide to move for if the 2022 World Cup winner decides to leave. Liverpool have a quality squad at their disposal, and they should look to hold onto their best players if they are serious about pushing for major trophies every season.
