Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to test Liverpool’s resolve with a January approach for midfield dynamo Alexis Mac Allister, according to recent transfer chatter. The story was pushed into the spotlight by journalist Indy Kaila, who highlighted the Argentina international as one of the high-profile names linked with a mid-season move.
Mac Allister has been one of Liverpool’s most influential midfield performers since his arrival, but sources claim his form this season and Madrid’s long-term midfield plans could make him a tempting target for Los Blancos — who are believed to be hunting a successor to their ageing central midfield options. The suggestion is that Madrid see him as a stylistic fit for Xabi Alonso’s system.
Liverpool, meanwhile, haven’t been idle in the market. The club strengthened heavily over the summer with big-name arrivals while also moving players on — and that squad churn, plus Financial Fair Play considerations, is being framed by some reporters as a reason why sales might now be on the table. If Madrid do come knocking, the Reds would face a tricky decision: hold onto a key piece in the middle of the campaign or cash in to balance the books and fund new targets.
There’s obvious friction to consider — selling a central figure in January would be disruptive — so whether Real can assemble an offer that convinces Liverpool is far from certain. Tweeters and pundits have flagged Mac Allister as one of several names that could be moved if the right bid arrives.
Bottom line: it’s a rumor with weight behind it — but still a rumor. Keep an eye on January’s window: if Real do launch a formal approach, it’ll be one of the transfer stories to watch closely. What do you think Liverpool should do — keep him and fight on, or sell if Madrid match the price? 👇⚽️
