Just in: Real Madrid eye Liverpool transfer opportunity as 2027 decision approaches

Alexis Mac Allister’s future at Liverpool is attracting fresh attention, with Real Madrid reportedly monitoring the Argentina international ahead of the 2027 summer transfer window.

Mac Allister remains under contract at Anfield until June 2028, so Liverpool are under no immediate pressure to sell.

However, the absence of progress over a new deal has created uncertainty around the 27-year-old, particularly with some of Europe’s biggest clubs continuing to be linked with him.

Real Madrid are tracking Mac Allister for 2027

According to Bernabeu Digital, citing reports from England, Liverpool currently do not intend to extend Mac Allister’s contract and both parties could be open to a departure in summer 2027.

Real Madrid are said to be following developments closely as they consider future additions to their midfield.

Mac Allister has apparently been admired at the Bernabeu for some time, and his contractual position could make a deal more realistic next year than it has been previously.

However, there is an important difference between monitoring a player and actively attempting to sign him.

Mac Allister’s father and agent, Carlos Mac Allister, recently told 365Scores Arabia that Liverpool had not contacted the family about a renewal, but also stressed there had been no approach from Real Madrid. His comments were reported by AS.

Liverpool face an important decision regarding the midfielder

Liverpool still have plenty of control over the situation, but 2027 could become a crucial point.

If Mac Allister reaches next summer without an extension, he would enter the final 12 months of his contract. That naturally strengthens the possibility of either a renewal or a sale rather than Liverpool allowing such a valuable player to move closer to free agency.

Mac Allister also remains an important part of Liverpool’s midfield under Andoni Iraola, which makes claims that his exit is already decided worth treating cautiously.

Recent reporting has indicated that he remains committed to Liverpool despite disappointment over the lack of a new offer.

For now, Real Madrid’s interest appears to be one to monitor rather than evidence of an imminent transfer. But unless Liverpool resolve Mac Allister’s contract situation, speculation is unlikely to disappear.
