“Now That Modric Is Gone, There’s Only One Name I Want – and He’s at Liverpool!” – Xabi Alonso Eyes Mac Allister as Real Madrid’s Next Midfield Star
In what could become the headline transfer story of the summer, Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly determined to sign Liverpool’s standout performer — and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to bring him to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Following Luka Modric’s emotional exit — a true icon and one of the greatest midfielders in Real Madrid’s history — the club is now faced with the monumental task of filling the void left behind. Sources in Spain suggest Alonso has already chosen his ideal successor.
In what’s been described as a bold internal declaration, Alonso is believed to have told Real Madrid’s board:
“Now that Modric is gone, the only player I can see stepping into that role is at Liverpool — and I’m going to get him, no matter what.”
That player, according to insiders, is Alexis Mac Allister — the Argentine midfield general who has impressed at Anfield with his calm demeanor, pinpoint passing, and sharp tactical awareness since joining Liverpool.
Having worn both the Liverpool and Real Madrid shirts during his own illustrious career, Alonso understands the demands of midfield greatness. After playing alongside icons like Steven Gerrard and Luka Modric, he’s now looking to shape his own era — and sees Mac Allister as the perfect combination of creativity, intelligence, and work ethic.
Madrid are reportedly preparing a €70 million offer, and are willing to increase that if Liverpool resist. Their pitch will include promises of Champions League glory, a starring role in Alonso’s new era, and the chance to become a part of Real Madrid’s legendary midfield legacy.
However, Liverpool won’t part with their midfield engine easily. Mac Allister is central to Arne Slot’s plans and has become a crucial figure in the club’s ongoing rebuild.
Still, Alonso’s pursuit appears personal. He sees this move not just as a signing, but as a statement — one that could define his tenure in the Madrid dugout.
Should Mac Allister make the leap to Spain, it would echo Alonso’s own move from Liverpool to Madrid at the peak of his career — a story that seems destined to repeat itself.
One thing is clear: this transfer saga is only just beginning, and the football world will be watching closely as it unfolds.
