Real Madrid watch on amid Liverpool contract situation
One of the biggest talking points heading into the final weeks of the season is Slot’s recent admission that Liverpool will have to sell to buy this summer.
This has left supporters wondering which first-team players could be moved on in order to finance potential incomings, and there is one player whose exit is becoming more likely.
According to a new report from Football Insider contract discussions between Alexis Mac Allister and Liverpool have come to a standstill, a development that has encouraged Real Madrid.
Los Blancos are reportedly keeping tabs on the Argentine midfielder, who they feel would be a good addition this summer.
The Spanish side have been interested for a while and, according to Defensa Central, believe the 28-year-old will be available soon and could be provide a creative presence in the midfield to help Alvaro Arbeloa’s side transition into the attack.
Football Insider’s report doesn’t mention a specific transfer fee, whilst Defensa Central quotes an €80 million (~£70m) valuation.
Liverpool’s need to sell this summer will likely force them to lower their asking price, but securing Champions League qualification would help secure the Reds’ finances.
