Alexis Mac Allister’s transfer decision when Real Madrid peek at Ibrahima Konate’s stolen gap

Gilabola.com – Real Madrid is considering the possibility of strengthening their midfield with Argentine, Alexis Mac Allister, it’s just that the price problem is still an obstacle.

The midfielder who performed brilliantly with Liverpool since being recruited from Brighton in the summer of 2023, is said to be one of the main targets. However, a report from Spain stated that Madrid was not willing to meet the value set by Liverpool for the 26 -year -old player.

Mac Allister recorded seven goals and six assists in 49 matches last season and played a major role in the success of the Reds winning the English League under the new coach of Arne Slot.

The Argentine international also holds the status of the 2022 World Cup champions and Copa America 2024, making him one of the most outstanding midfielders in the world of football today.

Although former Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, reportedly expressed his desire to bring Mac Allister to the Santiago Bernabeu before accepting a job as the Brazilian national team coach, the Spanish capital club seems more realistic in their steps.

The report says that even though they like the midfielder’s play style, they don’t intend to make a big commitment in their transfer which reaches 100 million euros.

Take a peek at Ibrahima Konate’s transfer gap

Real Madrid is known to immediately complete the transfer of Franco Mastantuono from the River Plate, with a total cost that will reach more than 63 million euros.

The young player will join after he was 18 years old in August. The club put great hopes for Mastantuono, even estimating that he would be one of the world’s best players in the near future.

This situation then affects the possibility of the transfer of other Liverpool players, including central defender Ibrahima Konate. Madrid is said to be optimistic that he can recruit the Frenchman, considering that Liverpool are doing massive shopping, one of which is by bringing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen worth 100 million pounds plus bonuses.

With large expenses for new players and contract extension to big names such as Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, Madrid suspected that Liverpool could have difficulty meeting the demands of Konate in his contract update.

This opened a gap for the Spanish club to bring the defender with a free transfer in the summer of 2026, repeating the trick of the Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Meanwhile, the new Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, reportedly had communicated with Mastantoo, explained his role in the squad and opportunities that would be given to him.

Alonso, who has history as a Liverpool player, seems to still hold an interest in some of the former players or active players from his former club.

While Trent Alexander-Arnold has joined, now Real Madrid is also associated with interest in Alexis Mac Allister and Ibrahima Konate, with the last name that is more likely to be recruited.
