Madrid Eyes 27-Year-Old Liverpool Midfielder in Future Deal
José Mourinho wants Alexis Mac Allister, but the Argentine is under contract at Anfield until 2028.
By Andrew Kovalenko ·
Real Madrid have added Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister to their list of future targets.
Sky Germany reported that the Spanish giants are monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation. The Argentine international is currently under contract at Anfield until 2028. No concrete plans exist to extend his stay at the club. Liverpool would likely resist any immediate approach for a key player.
José Mourinho is a strong advocate for signing Mac Allister. The manager admires the player’s physical presence and strength in challenges. Madrid is not expected to make a move in the upcoming window but will keep a close watch on the midfielder’s development.
Liverpool are simultaneously scouting for replacements in the same position. The club holds Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha in high regard according to Sky Germany. The 26-year-old is not a priority target right now, but that status could change. Nmecha is under contract at Dortmund until June 2030. He joined the German club from Wolfsburg in 2023.
Other players on Liverpool’s shortlist include Monaco’s Lamine Camara and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott. These two midfielders have also been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United in recent months. Liverpool is also monitoring Leeds defender Tarik Muharemović, who has attracted interest from Inter, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal are interested in Monza striker Gustavo Varela, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported. The 21-year-old Portuguese forward has scored seven goals in eight Serie A matches this season. Napoli and Benfica are also in the mix. Napoli may move in January to beat the competition. Benfica retain the right to match future offers and are entitled to 20 percent of the profit from his next transfer.
Manchester United remain interested in Newcastle United left back Lewis Hall. Football Insider reported that the 22-year-old could cost upwards of £70 million. Hall recently extended his contract until 2031. United may revive their pursuit next summer. Newcastle are set to reject any January departure. Hall is believed to be happy at St James’ Park but has not ruled out a future move to Old Trafford.
Bayern Munich are closely monitoring Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Wael Mohya. Sky Germany noted that the 17-year-old is attracting interest from Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen, and leading clubs abroad. A winter transfer is considered unlikely. Gladbach want to extend his contract beyond 2028 as soon as possible. A release clause will be included. Mohya staying beyond next summer is only conceivable if the club avoids relegation.
