Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has demanded that the club make a move to sign a particular Liverpool star as soon as possible this summer, according to Fichajes.net.
Liverpool are fresh off a triumphant 2024/25 campaign under Arne Slot, having secured the Premier League title in his debut season at the helm, and have already bolstered their squad with Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez. ..Continue Reading
However, the club now faces the challenge of potential player exits, with Alexis Mac Allister at the center of a growing transfer tug-of-war.
Widely regarded as one of the finest midfielders in the game, Mac Allister has been instrumental for Liverpool since his 2023 switch from Brighton, but he’s now attracting serious interest from Real Madrid.
Following Madrid’s 4–0 defeat to PSG in the Club World Cup semi-final, manager Xabi Alonso reportedly demanded swift action in the transfer market to address glaring weaknesses.
Alonso, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti this summer, has earmarked the Argentine playmaker as the cornerstone of his midfield rebuild, and the club is preparing a €100 million (£86 million) bid to secure his services.
That figure could rise if Madrid offloads players like Dani Ceballos, Brahim Díaz, or Rodrygo to free up funds and squad space.
Sources suggest Madrid believe Mac Allister would be receptive to a move if the two clubs can reach an agreement, though he remains content at Liverpool and is unlikely to force an exit.
With Alonso pushing hard and Madrid ready to spend big, all eyes are now on Liverpool’s response to what could be one of the summer’s most high-profile transfer offers.
