Rumour Mongering: Real Madrid Interested In Liverpool Star

Uncertainty surrounds Liverpool's squad composition ahead of their preseason opener, with more player transfers expected in the coming month. Questions remain about which current players might depart.

Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, a World Cup winner, as a potential replacement for the departed Luka Modric and to strengthen their squad.

Mac Allister was a standout performer for Liverpool last season and is only entering the third year of a five-year contract. Consequently, Liverpool has no incentive to sell unless a suitable offer is made.

The required transfer fee for Mac Allister is estimated to be at least €100 million, considered reasonable for a player of his caliber in the current market. To finance this potential move, Real Madrid might need to sell players like Rodrygo, having already spent over €175 million this summer.

Despite the speculation, Mac Allister is viewed as one of the least likely Liverpool players to leave this summer, primarily due to his recent performances. However, a transfer remains a possibility if Real Madrid meets Liverpool's asking price.
