Mourinho Pushes Real Madrid to Court Mac Allister
The Argentine midfielder remains under contract at Liverpool until 2028, though the Reds are already scouting alternative central midfielders.

Real Madrid plans to pursue Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in a future transfer window, according to Sky Germany. The 27-year-old Argentine international has drawn specific attention from Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who values the player's physical presence and ability to win challenges. Madrid is currently monitoring the situation at Anfield, although no formal approach has been made yet.
Mac Allister’s current contract with Liverpool runs through 2028. The club has not put forward concrete plans to extend that deal. Liverpool is expected to resist any serious offer for a key squad member, as the team continues to operate without a long-term replacement strategy in place for the midfielder's role.
While Mac Allister is the primary target of interest, Liverpool is also building a list of potential reinforcements. The club holds Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha in high regard, according to the same report. The 26-year-old is not currently a priority target, but his status could shift as Liverpool seeks additional depth in the central midfield position.
Nmecha is under contract with Dortmund until June 2030. He joined the German side in 2023 from Wolfsburg. Liverpool has also identified Monaco’s Lamine Camara and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott as options. Both players have been linked with other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, in recent months.
Other transfer movements involve Liverpool players and opponents. The Reds are monitoring Leeds defender Tarik Muharemović, a player also tracked by Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, Manchester United remains interested in Newcastle United left back Lewis Hall. United could revive their pursuit next summer, although Hall recently extended his contract until 2031.
Newcastle is set to reject any departure for Hall in January. The 22-year-old is believed to be happy at St James' Park, though he has not ruled out a future move to Old Trafford. Any transfer for Hall would cost upwards of £70 million. These moves occur as the transfer market remains active across Europe, with clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United also tracking various players for upcoming windows.
