Speculation is intensifying as Real Madrid reportedly set their sights on Alexis Mac Allister, with a surprising twist — the Spanish giants are considering offering Arda Güler as part of the deal to tempt Liverpool into negotiations.

The Argentine midfielder has been a standout performer since arriving at Anfield, playing a key role in Liverpool’s recent success, including their Premier League title win. At just 26, Mac Allister has cemented himself as one of the league’s most complete midfielders — making him a potential successor to Luka Modrić, who nears the twilight of his career at the Bernabéu.

According to reports from Fichajes, Real Madrid may propose a swap deal involving Arda Güler, the highly-rated Turkish attacker who has struggled for minutes in Spain. Despite being hailed by José Mourinho as a player with “exceptional quality,” Güler’s limited opportunities at Madrid have raised questions about his long-term future there.

From a strategic point of view, a move to Liverpool could benefit Güler’s development — but would Liverpool be willing to part ways with such a key figure in exchange?

🔴 Liverpool Unlikely to Sell

Mac Allister remains a crucial component of Arne Slot’s squad, and any move away would require a hefty offer. While Real Madrid’s interest is real, insiders suggest that Liverpool are not open to selling the World Cup winner, especially after his family publicly stated that he’s “happy and settled” on Merseyside.

Even though Madrid have already signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free this summer and are also keeping tabs on Ibrahima Konaté, raiding Liverpool for another major star won’t be easy.

With the Premier League champions aiming to defend their title and challenge on multiple fronts, losing a key midfielder like Mac Allister could seriously disrupt their momentum. As such, it would take an extraordinary offer — and not just raw talent — to convince Liverpool to negotiate.
