Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister rejects Bayern Munich offer and awaits Real Madrid proposal
Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has turned down an offer from Bayern Munich, opting instead to wait for a potential move from Real Madrid, according to a report from Defensa Central.
The 26-year-old, currently a key figure at Liverpool, was identified as a priority signing by the German club during this transfer window. However, Mac Allister reportedly declined to enter into further negotiations, holding out for a possible approach from Los Blancos.
Madrid Monitoring Situation Closely
Although Real Madrid has yet to submit a formal proposal, the Spanish giants are monitoring Mac Allister’s situation as they explore options to strengthen their midfield. The club is seeking a suitable replacement for Toni Kroos, who announced his retirement from professional football following Euro 2024.
Mac Allister fits the profile being sought: a technically gifted, experienced midfielder with a strong defensive and organizational presence. He was instrumental in Argentina’s 2022 World Cup triumph and has become a mainstay in Liverpool’s midfield under Arne Slot.
Bayern’s Plans Derailed
The news comes as a surprise in Germany, where Bayern Munich had hoped to finalize the deal quickly before the summer window closes. The Bundesliga club has now been forced to revisit alternative targets after Mac Allister made clear his preference to wait for a move to Spain.
Focus Remains on Liverpool… for Now
Despite the swirling transfer speculation, Mac Allister continues to train and participate fully in Liverpool’s preseason preparations. The Reds regard him as a central figure for their upcoming campaign in both the Premier League and European competitions.
Still, with the transfer window open, the coming weeks may prove decisive. Should Real Madrid make a formal approach, Mac Allister’s future at Anfield could change dramatically potentially reshaping the landscape of the European midfield market once again.
