Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid rules out signing MacAllister for this reason, final decision
The signing of the Argentine midfielder would not be less than €100 million, and the president is not willing
Real Madrid had their eyes on Alexis MacAllister. The Argentine has caught attention for his performance at Liverpool, but the reality is that the club has decided to pass. It's not because they don't like him, but because the price is simply insane.
MacAllister, a top-level player for Liverpool
MacAllister has been a key piece for Arne Slot this season. He's not just any player, far from it.
He has played practically every possible minute: 49 matches and over 3,500 min. (3,500 minutes) on the field. Seven goals and six assists back up his contribution.
A player who can play as a pivot, as a box-to-box midfielder, or even as an attacking midfielder. A true Swiss Army knife.
But here's the problem. Liverpool isn't willing to sell him for less than €100 million and Madrid isn't about to throw money away just like that. They've done the math, considered alternatives, and in the end the conclusion is clear: it's not worth it.
The player is the engine of the English team and Slot knows it. That's why they've stood firm on the price. They see him as an essential, almost untouchable piece. Letting him go isn't an easy option.
Madrid bets on its own and other options
In Chamartín, they've chosen to be sensible. They know they have Arda Güler, a young player with a bright future, and they've decided to give him time to grow. In addition, they're looking for players who fit in without breaking the bank.
So, for now, MacAllister's name is off the table for the club. Real is still searching, but with their feet on the ground. Because here, it's not just about talent, but about knowing when and how to sign.
In short, the deal of the century to get MacAllister remains... just that, an impossible deal. The market is still open, but in Madrid the bet is clear: they're not going to pay that outrageous amount.
