​Atlético de Madrid has decided to launch an offensive to sign Alexis Mac Allister, a 27-year-old midfielder from Liverpool, during the winter transfer market. The Liverpool player has long been a desire of Diego Pablo Simeone.

The Madrid club seeks to take advantage of the breakdown in renewal negotiations between the player and the English club, which has set a transfer price of 60 million euros to authorize the sale of the Argentine international halfway through the season.

Simeone's Reasons and the Contractual Situation at Liverpool

Diego Pablo Simeone requested the addition of the midfielder to increase rotation in Atletico's midfield during the second half of the 2026-2027 season. The coach sees the Argentine both for the double pivot — where Morten Hjulmand and Pablo Barrios compete — and for the attacking midfield line, where Alex Baena, Kang-in Lee, and Ademola Lookman play.

The midfielder has 2 years left on his contract with Liverpool, a club he joined after rejecting exit options during the last summer transfer window. However, the British board recently informed the player that they are not in a financial position to offer him a contract extension.

Mac Allister's Statements and Financial Demands for the Transfer

Mac Allister himself publicly confirmed Anfield's refusal to renew his contract, while the club secured extensions for Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch. The midfielder expressed sadness at the board's decision but pledged his commitment to the team until his last day in England.

Given this scenario, the sports management of the Merseyside club has valued the departure of their player at 60 million euros. Atlético de Madrid is considering assuming this amount in the winter transfer window to avoid competition with other European clubs during the 2027 summer.

Financial Implications of the Operation at the Metropolitano

The leadership of the red-and-white team believes that spending 60 million euros aligns with the budgetary margins set for the January market. The arrival of the midfielder would bring experience in international tournaments and tactical options for competing in LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's technical department aims to use the revenue from this transfer to enter the market for a younger replacement before the transfer window closes.

Atlético de Madrid's executives plan to initiate initial talks with Liverpool's management during the second week of November 2026. The Spanish board's goal is to finalize the payment structure of the 60 million euros before January 1, 2027, to formalize Mac Allister's arrival at the Metropolitano from the first day of the winter market.
