Real Madrid wants to strengthen the midfield with a footballer from the Premier League

Real Madrid has set the goal of strengthening the midfield for next season. Although several names have emerged in recent weeks, Alexis Mac Allister's is one of the most prominent. According to "Defensa Central," the Liverpool player is highly regarded by the Madrid club, although his price significantly limits his signing.

Without a doubt, the Argentine has proven to be a very complete player, with good vision, the ability to recover the ball, and a presence in the opponent's box. His performance has been key to the English team's success in the last season. With Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister has just won a Premier League title, being a player heavily used by Arne Slot.

Alexis Mac Allister to replace Luka Modric's departure

With Luka Modric's departure, the white club is looking for a player who can provide balance in the midfield. Alexis Mac Allister fits that profile perfectly, but his price is a major obstacle. He is under contract until 2028 and Liverpool has valued him at 100 million euros, so Real Madrid would have to think very carefully about it.

Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister has shown that he is very comfortable at Liverpool and he also has no intention of leaving Anfield. However, an offer from Real Madrid is not just any proposal, so it will be necessary to keep an eye on the situation.

In addition to Alexis Mac Allister, Real Madrid is paying close attention to another Liverpool player. We're talking about Ibrahima Konaté, a 26-year-old French player who has decided not to renew with the "reds".

According to the latest reports, Real Madrid is considering signing him in the current transfer window. The club still hasn't decided whether to pay his price—50 million euros—or wait until next season when he will be a free agent.

Ibrahima Konaté is Real Madrid's preferred name to strengthen the defense and to become Dean Huijsen's new partner. The player would arrive to provide immediate cover for Antonio Rüdiger or Éder Militao.
