Real Madrid eye World Cup winner Mac Allister, sales needed
Real Madrid have confirmed they appreciate 27‑year‑old World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, but any move hinges on the club’s ability to sell players first. Manager Jose Mourinho arrived in Madrid with a set of plans and has already completed four signings in this World Cup year.
Mourinho’s arrival in the Spanish capital was accompanied by a clear intention to revamp the squad. The club’s four signings were wrapped up quickly despite the ongoing international tournament.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid are monitoring Mac Allister and admire his technical and tactical profile. The Argentine midfielder is praised for his Premier League experience and his role in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph.

Madrid’s ability to pursue the player depends on generating sales, as Liverpool are unlikely to simplify negotiations. Mac Allister remains a key figure at Anfield, making a potential transfer more complex. Inside the midfield, Federico Valverde is expected to stay and assume the captaincy. The futures of Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are still uncertain, adding to the squad’s midfield considerations. Other names on Mourinho’s radar include Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea and Matheus Fernandes of West Ham United. Both players offer similar versatility, but their acquisition also depends on the club’s outgoing market. Mourinho is still defining the exact midfield profile he wants for the summer. Should sales free up wages, Real Madrid could move for Mac Allister in the coming weeks.
