In a recent segment on DSports Radio, journalist Marcelo Benedetto stated that Real Madrid are showing interest in Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister this summer. It has been claimed that Los Blancos have identified the Argentine midfield ace as a target for the upcoming transfer window.
Mac Allister’s Impressive Run Of Form At Merseyside This Season
Mac Allister has enjoyed a great campaign at Anfield as he has managed to put in a string of influential displays for them in the middle of the park. The Argentina international has made 45 appearances for the Reds this season, scoring six goals and picking up seven assists across all fronts.
The 25-year-old has been a positive influence at both ends of the field based on his average of 3.0 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, 0.7 clearances, 1.3 shots, 1.4 key passes and 0.6 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has even been tidy when distributing the ball from midfield after making 87.7% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Merseyside club will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it tough for Real Madrid to sign him on the cheap later this year.
Is Mac Allister A Good Fit For Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti?
Mac Allister is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team at the centre of the park. He usually clears the danger when needed and is a tidy passer of the ball.
The Argentine sensation can shoot the ball with venom from long range and has got the vision to set up some inviting chances for others around him in the opposition half. He is an energetic runner with the ball as well.
Mac Allister would undoubtedly inject more quality into Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti’s midfield. He has what it takes to secure a regular starting spot at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next season.
At 25, Mac Allister’s best years are ahead of him which makes him a great fit for Los Blancos‘ needs in the long run. Thus, the Madrid giants would be wise to try and get a deal done for the South American midfielder this summer.
