Xabi Alonso reportedly wants Real Madrid to sign 26-year-old Argentine international Alexis Mac Allister from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Alexis Mac Allister is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 26-year-old Liverpool mainstay has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.

Xabi Alonso is the driving force behind Real Madrid’s move for the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner, with the newly appointed manager pushing the Merengues to seal a summer deal. Meanwhile, the Spanish heavyweights are preparing a mega-money bid worth €100 million to sign Mac Allister from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

Alexis Mac Allister: One of Jurgen Klopp’s parting gifts

Alexis Mac Allister was one of the last signings by Jurgen Klopp as the German tactician’s imprint on the Liverpool squad remains for the long haul. The 26-year-old arrived from Brighton & Hove Albion in a bargain deal in July 2023, and he hit the ground running at Anfield in his debut season.

The Argentine international has been a mainstay in the middle of the park thus far for Liverpool, turning out nearly 100 times while chipping in with 14 goals and 13 assists. Meanwhile, Mac Allister’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Real Madrid will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

La Liga move on the horizon?

Alexis Mac Allister has been on Real Madrid’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, even though the Merengues have signed Franco Mastantuono from River Plate. While Toni Kroos’s retirement had already left a creativity void in the middle of the park, Luka Modric’s exit has exacerbated the situation.

So, Real Madrid must sign a creative midfielder in the summer transfer window, with Mac Allister emerging as a viable target. Xabi Alonso is driving Los Blancos’ move for the Liverpool mainstay, and the Spanish giants are preparing a mega-money bid worth €100 million to sign him from the Merseyside club.

However, convincing Liverpool to part ways with the 26-year-old Argentine international will be a tall order, even if the Merengues submit a bid worth €100 million. So, it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid can turn Mac Allister’s head in the coming weeks.
