Alexis Mac Allister monitored by top clubs
As per Anfield watch, Liverpool are in a tough situation this summer transfer window. Their midfielder Alexis Mac Allister faces an uncertainty over his future at Anfield. There are lots of talks on social media that Real Madrid are showing interest to sign the Argentine midfielder. This move reveals Madrid’s plans to strengthen their central midfield for the next season. This comes as a result of their failing plans in that area of the football pitch.
Mac Allister joined Liverpool in 2023 from Brighton and Hove Albion. Since then he has more than 100 appearances for the Reds. His arrival brought stability and control in the squad. Meanwhile, his ability to control the game and change the outcome with his passes remains a key asset for the team. Liverpool midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai are close to sign a new contract.
However, Mac Allister and the club are not in talks for a new deal. So this suggests that he might look for a new chapter in his career. Now, if such a key player leaves, it creates a big gap in that position. As a result, they try to search for a replacement who can take up his role.

Real Madrid eyeing a major midfield rebuild
Real Madrid face a lot of issues in their team. This includes the rift between players, instability in management and injury crisis. Real Madrid have a history of consistent success yet they face tough times now. They lost the league title to their rivals, Barcelona. In addition to this, their failure in other domestic competitions and UEFA Champions League has raised a lot of questions.
Real Madrid have a huge midfield problem. Despite having stars like Bellingham, Valverde, Camavinga, Guler and Tchouameni, they still find it difficult to control the midfield. Some people suggest that this is because these players are individually excellent but do not complement each other’s game. This causes them to break their shape in attacks and defenses. Ultimately, it becomes a problem in the longer run as it affects the outcomes of matches.
For this reason, their eyes now turn towards Alexis Mac Allister. He is a player that can fulfil multiple roles in the team. At times, he can be seen playing like an orchestrator. He can switch his role and make runs forward like a box to box midfielder. In fact, he is an efficient player that knows how to complement his teammates.
Los Blancos will first aim at solving their Managerial problem this summer. Soon after that they might make a formal approach for Mac Allister. Liverpool will expect a huge transfer fee for him. This might make this deal a bit complicated. Madrid remain interested and will look for solutions to their problems.
