Overview
- CaughtOffside attributes the claim to journalist Indy Kaila, who posted on Oct. 30 that Real Madrid plan a January move for the Argentina international.
- No formal approach or offer has been announced, and the report itself notes uncertainty over whether any bid would persuade Liverpool to sell mid-season.
- Coverage frames Mac Allister as a key performer for Liverpool and a plausible long-term option for Xabi Alonso as Real Madrid refresh their midfield.
- Liverpool’s recent window featured arrivals Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz and exits Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz and Harvey Elliott, with potential spending linked to Financial Fair Play considerations.
- A separate CaughtOffside opinion piece proposes a Mac Allister–for–Eduardo Camavinga swap as a concept, which is presented as speculative rather than an active negotiation.
