Liverpool tell Real Madrid what ‘first offer’ for Alexis Mac Allister should be after brutal admission

Liverpool have reportedly set a minimum price of €70m for any opening offer from Real Madrid for midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in January. The Argentine international, who joined Liverpool from Brighton for £35m in 2023, has entered the final 18 months of his contract. Spanish reports indicate that Liverpool are refusing to offer discounts if a mid-season permanent transfer is pursued.

The development follows Mac Allister's confirmation to journalist Gaston Edul that Liverpool previously decided against offering him a contract extension, which he described as painful. Despite teammates Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai receiving renewals, Mac Allister stated he remains happy at Anfield amid managerial, directorial, and ownership changes.
