Real Madrid Target Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister — Arda Güler Offered in Potential Swap Deal
Real Madrid are reportedly preparing a bold move for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, viewing him as a potential long-term successor to Luka Modrić. In an attempt to tempt the Reds, Los Blancos are considering including Arda Güler in a player-plus-cash deal, according to Fichajes.
The 26-year-old Argentine has been a key figure at Anfield since his arrival and has quickly become one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders. His composed play, versatility, and work rate have not gone unnoticed — especially in Madrid, where the reigning European champions are planning a midfield evolution.
Güler, 19, remains highly rated despite limited minutes in Madrid. A move to Liverpool could give the Turkish wonderkid the platform to develop, while easing Madrid’s path to signing Mac Allister. The Spanish giants believe the proposal could benefit all parties.
However, Liverpool are not expected to part with Mac Allister easily. The midfielder is seen as a cornerstone of Arne Slot’s new-look side, and both he and his father have publicly expressed satisfaction with life on Merseyside. Unless Real Madrid return with a substantial offer, any deal appears unlikely at this stage.
Real Madrid’s Anfield Focus
This isn’t the first time Real Madrid have targeted Liverpool players. After landing Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free earlier this summer, they are also reportedly keeping tabs on Ibrahima Konaté as they look to strengthen across the pitch.
Though Arda Güler has been praised as a “generational talent” — even by former manager José Mourinho — the cost of losing Mac Allister could prove too steep for Liverpool, especially with title ambitions under Slot in full swing.
With the transfer window heating up, this potential blockbuster deal will be one to watch closely.
