Xabi Alonso has a very clear idea for his Real Madrid: he needs a midfielder who sets the pace and provides balance to the team in the post-Kroos and Modric era. And shining on his radar above all is a name: Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentine from Liverpool has become the great obsession of the Basque coach, who believes that his profile would fit perfectly into the style he wants to impose at the Santiago Bernabéu, alongside the rest of the midfielders in the squad, according to Defensa Central.

Although from the board, led by Florentino Pérez, it is insisted that the squad is already closed for the 2025/26 season, the planning work does not stop. The secretariat continues to evaluate profiles to reinforce a midfield that has lost two legends and needs new references. In this context, Mac Allister has gained ground to become Alonso's favorite, above other names like Enzo Fernández, Zubimendi, or even Rodri.

Xabi Alonso wants Alexis Mac Allister

The Argentine footballer is under contract with Liverpool until 2028, and his current price is around 100 million euros, a high figure that complicates any immediate signing attempt. However, Real Madrid does not rule out making a move in 2026, especially if a relevant departure occurs in the midfield. Furthermore, his style of play and ability to play at different levels in the midfield area make him an ideal piece to accompany emerging talents like Arda Güler or the newly arrived Franco Mastantuono.

Sources close to the club acknowledge that Mac Allister is being closely monitored and that his name is still on the table. For now, there will be no movements, but his profile is highly liked both in terms of sports and personal aspects: training in Argentine football, experience in the Premier League, world champion, and still with room for development.

Xabi Alonso wants a leader for his midfield. And if it were up to him, that name would be Alexis Mac Allister.
