Real Madrid is showing strong interest in Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. According to Sky Sports, the Spanish giants have begun preparations for future transfer windows, identifying the Argentine World Cup winner as a key target.
The driving force behind this potential move is none other than head coach Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician is highly impressed by the 27-year-old's physical attributes, work rate in defence, and ability in duels. Mourinho sees Mac Allister as the ideal 'anchor' for his midfield rotation.
Despite boasting star players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, and Federico Valverde, Real are still missing a true leader in the centre of the park. This is compounded by the fact that Valverde often has to fill in at right-back.
Mac Allister's contract with Liverpool runs until 2028. Since joining Anfield, he has made 162 appearances, scoring 23 goals and providing 21 assists. With Liverpool not rushing to offer him a new deal, Real Madrid is keeping a keen eye on the situation, ready to engage in talks if necessary.
