Real Madrid open bidding for Liverpool midfielder at €80m | OneFootball

Liverpool could shake up midfield

We could see a bid for Eduardo Camavinga - the Real Madrid star - and there is a good possibility of another Liverpool player heading in the opposite direction.

Although Liverpool would be against lightening their ranks any further, Alexis Mac Allister’s departure could become a topic in the near future.

The 26-year-old only has a contract until 2028 - and unless he shows an upturn in form then a renewal on bigger wages may be denied.

And that means that in order to avoid his contract ticking down to a point where Mac Allister becomes worth much less in the market, sporting director Richard Hughes may consider a sale.

Real Madrid prepare €80m Mac Allister bid

Madrid coach Xabi Alonso for his part is thought to believe the Argentina World Cup winner is the solution to his side’s post-Luka Modric midfield issues.

And club president Florentino Perez - according to a report in Defensa Central - is ready to sanction an €80m bid as soon as JANUARY for Mac Allister.

“The Real Madrid president is willing to make a significant investment,” the report reads.

“The 80 million euros the club is seeking reflect the magnitude of the objective.

“It won't be a simple negotiation: Liverpool doesn't want to part with one of its pillars, but Madrid is confident in the power of its project.

“The move could begin in January if circumstances permit, although everything points to summer as the key moment. The plan is clear: to secure Mac Allister before other major European clubs swoop in.”
