Xabi Alonso’s desire to sign one Premier League midfielder is expected to be rejected by his current club.

Xabi Alonso is reportedly in talks with his Liverpool contacts regarding a potential move for Alexis Mac Allister to Real Madrid in the upcoming summer transfer window. 

Alonso is expected to replace Carlo Ancelotti in Madrid this summer, and the Spanish manager is said to want the Reds midfielder.

However, the news states that Liverpool are expected to resist any efforts to sell Mac Allister, especially after recently losing Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Spanish giants. 

Arne Slot is said to be determined to maintain a strong squad following their Premier League triumph, and the former Brighton man is central to the Dutchman’s plans for next season. 

The news was reported by Football Insider's Mick Brown, a former Man United and Blackburn chief scout.

“Alexis Mac Allister is a player I hear they have been looking at as well,” Brown states in his report.

“The new manager knows the Liverpool scene well, he’ll still have his contacts at the club and he’ll be speaking to them about a possible deal. It would be a huge deal.

“So he’ll know the situation as much as any opposition manager can do.”
