Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has arguably been Liverpool’s most successful new player this season. The 25-year-old midfielder, who joined from Brighton, has contributed highly in both attack and defence, sometimes hitting powerful midfield shots, and has scored seven goals and provided seven assists throughout the season.
The player’s presence at Anfield has been valuable and he promises to be a mainstay in the team next season, when new manager Arne Slot takes over. And while he is expected to be a long-time Liverpool midfield leader and a club legend for many years to come, the cloud has been lifted.
According to DSports, Real Madrid could be in the market for the Argentine midfielder in the summer of 2025, as the football careers of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos approach their end.
A termination clause is expected to come into force next summer, costing €70 million, which is not a high price for the club in the Spanish capital. They have made major reinforcements every year and could be the centrepiece of 2025.
However, Liverpool will not be letting him go easily after his great performance this season. He can be a conduit between the defence and the forwards, and has a strong mentality that allows him to challenge for the ball without fear, which is enough to make him a key player in the slot regime.
However, the fact that he is a South American player is a bit of a concern. Former Uruguayan international Luis Suárez and former Brazilian midfielder Filipe Coutinho have both wanted to move to Spain, albeit to different clubs, and their yearning for the league and clubs they have known since childhood is uncontrollable.
However, there is a difference between moving to a club or league of your choice and choosing a club professionally. What will the future hold for the midfielder, who also plays a central role in the Argentina national team?
