Mac Allister in the frame: Chelsea move, Real Madrid won't give up | OneFootball

Alexis Mac Allister is going through a period of uncertainty at Liverpool. The Argentine midfielder is still under contract with the Reds until the summer of 2028, but he does not understand why the club has not made progress on a renewal that would allow him to define his future at Anfield.

The situation has sparked the interest of some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Real Madrid already tried to secure his services during last summer’s transfer window and, although they were unable to complete the signing, Los Blancos are still said to have the Argentine among their targets.

Now, a new suitor is threatening to enter the race strongly.

Chelsea set their sights on Mac Allister

According to information from Football Insider, Chelsea have focused their efforts on Mac Allister and are considering the possibility of trying to sign him during the next winter transfer window.

The Blues’ move would be linked to the need to strengthen their midfield. Xabi Alonso would be looking to bring in a top-level player for that area following Enzo Fernández’s departure, which is why the Argentine has emerged as a high-profile alternative.

At 27, Mac Allister is exactly the kind of player capable of providing balance, ball recovery, and the ability to create play from midfield.

Real Madrid are not losing sight of him either

Chelsea would not be the only giant keeping a close watch. Real Madrid already made inquiries about Argentina’s World Cup winner last summer and, according to reports, still intend to try again to sign him.

Liverpool’s stance will be decisive. The player still has two years left on his contract, but the lack of progress on a renewal could open the door for interested clubs to push for his departure.

Liverpool face an important decision

The contractual situation puts the Reds in a scenario that could become more significant in the coming months. If the club cannot make progress on Mac Allister’s renewal, interest from Chelsea and Real Madrid could grow.

For now, there is no confirmation of a completed negotiation or a formal offer, but the Argentine has once again appeared on the radar of two of Europe’s biggest clubs.
