Real Madrid makes a move for Liverpool star Mac Allister

Real Madrid are pursuing a strong midfield transfer from the Premier League. According to reports in the Spanish press, president Florentino Perez and head coach Jose Mourinho have identified Liverpool's Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister as one of the key targets for the 2027 summer transfer window.

Los Blancos narrowed the gap with the league leaders by beating Barcelona 2-1 in El Clasico on Sunday. However, the club has not won a league or Champions League title since the 2023/24 season. Real Madrid are typically used to responding to such droughts with strong moves in the transfer market.

According to a report from Fichajes, Perez sees the fact that the player has not yet extended his contract as an opportunity, and plans to start talks to bring Mac Allister to the squad in January 2027. The player's contract runs until June 2028, so negotiations over the transfer fee will be needed for an early move.

The Argentine has regained his form since Andoni Iraola took charge at Anfield. Liverpool, however, have not yet started formal talks to extend his contract. Mourinho is said to be keen to add a player who can win back the ball and contribute to the attacking play.
