Liverpool ready to sell Alexis Mac Allister amid Real Madrid interest

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

According to transfer insider Indy Kaila, the Spanish outfit is keen on the 26-year-old South American, and Liverpool would be prepared to sell him for the right price. 

A January move cannot be ruled out, but a summer move seems more likely. Liverpool will not want to lose a key player like him in the middle of the season. They have started the season poorly, and they will need their key players to stay so that they can bounce back strongly. Mac Allister has been hailed as “absolutely magnificent” in the past.

Alexis Mac Allister could be sold

Meanwhile, they have already set a valuation for the 2022 World Cup winner, and they will be prepared to sell him if the asking price is met. Liverpool have already put replacement plans in place, and they want to sign an elite defensive midfielder. 

Liverpool have quality central midfielders like Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai at their disposal. However, they are lacking a specialist defensive midfielder who can protect the back four and break up opposition attacking moves.

Gravenberch has been deployed in that role, but the Netherlands International thrives in an advanced position. Using him as the defensive midfielder limits his best qualities, and Liverpool must look to bring in a midfield destroyer so that they can unleash the Dutchman properly.
