According to reports, while speculation about Real Madrid’s transfer activities is heating up, the only certainty appears to be Trent Alexander-Arnold’s presence at right-back alongside Dani Carvajal. Other matters, including potential signings, will remain uncertain until the end of the season and the final decision by Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez in May. This is a crucial period when Real Madrid traditionally finalizes its future plans.

Several names have been linked to strengthen the team, with the latest being Alexis Mac Allister, who has drawn attention for two reasons: first, his name was discussed in recent meetings among Real Madrid’s executives, and second, his father’s unexpected comments this week about Real’s interest in his son.

Mac Allister, a key player for Liverpool under Arne Slot, has been included in Real Madrid’s list of preferred players due to his high quality. Real’s executives are assessing whether he could address issues such as the lack of creativity in midfield, which has been evident at times this season.

Real Madrid’s transfer strategy for the upcoming season includes one major signing and acquiring players with expiring contracts, such as Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konaté, whose deal runs until June 2026. However, Mac Allister does not fall into this category, as his contract with Liverpool is longer.

His father’s comments about Real’s interest have surprised the club’s executives. Is this a coincidence or an attempt to attract attention? Mac Allister’s father told Argentine channel ‘Picado TV’: ‘At the moment, I don’t think Alexis will leave Liverpool. Time will tell. He is very happy at Liverpool, living near Robertson and Gomez, with Lisandro Martínez just a few streets away. He speaks English well and has adapted to the environment.’

These remarks have taken rumors to a new level, making Mac Allister one of Real Madrid’s attractive options, especially as the Club World Cup transfer window approaches. Alexis himself has previously welcomed the possibility of playing in Spain, but it remains unclear whether this hype will lead to an actual transfer.
