After Arnold, Madrid is Going All out for Another Liverpool Star: It's Not Van Dijk

Real Madrid continues to scour the market in search of talent to strengthen its team. After focusing its attention on Trent Alexander-Arnold, another name from Liverpool has entered the plans of the white club.

It's Alexis Mac Allister, the Argentine midfielder who has shone in the Premier League since his arrival at the Reds. The world champion has impressed with his vision of the game, precision in passing, and ability to make a difference in the midfield.

Real Madrid sees Mac Allister as an ideal piece to reinforce its midfield line. His versatility fits perfectly with the team's playing style. Additionally, his experience in high-level competitions makes him a solid candidate to face challenges both in LaLiga and the Champions League.

Economic obstacle?

Liverpool isn't willing to let Mac Allister go easily. According to sources close to the club, his departure won't be finalized for less than 100 million euros, a price that could complicate the operation.

Real Madrid, however, has a history of major transfers and doesn't rule out making an effort if it considers the Argentine a priority.

Since arriving at Liverpool, Mac Allister has proven to be one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. His ability to quickly adapt to Jürgen Klopp's system was key to the team's performance last season. This season, he remains vital for Arne Slot.

Competition for the Argentine

Madrid isn't the only one interested. Other European giants, like Manchester City and Bayern München, are also closely following the player's situation. This could spark a bidding war that would further increase his value.

With the retirement of iconic players like Toni Kroos, Real Madrid needs to strengthen its team with elite talent. The addition of Mac Allister, along with a possible transfer of Alexander-Arnold, would mark a statement of intent in the market.

The interest in Mac Allister reflects Madrid's ambition to remain competitive at the highest level. Will Florentino Pérez manage to bring the Argentine? The winter market will be decisive.
