Richard Hughes lining up DREAM Real Madrid swap deal

A recent report from Indy Kaila has claimed that Real Madrid are making moves to sign Alexis Mac Allister. According to his report, Liverpool have a figure in mind and that even a January transfer cannot be ruled out.

The report adds that Liverpool are looking to add an elite defensive midfielder.

Well, in that case, there's an easy trade-off. Liverpool will be reluctant to lose Mac Allister. However, he is a bit of a luxury player at the moment and he doesn't quite seem to fit into Arne Slot's current system.

So if Madrid really want him, Liverpool should come to the table. It seems like that is what they are doing because otherwise they would not have set a valuation.

Hughes is clearly open to allowing Mac Allister to leave. However, he won't want to go home empty handed from this negotiations.
