Talk about a Liverpool star’s father commenting on a potential Real Madrid move has been doing the rounds, but let’s clear that up right away. No verified reports from any trusted source confirm such statements. It seems like pure rumor.
What we do know for sure, though, is that Real Madrid already signed a big Liverpool name, and they’re watching another closely. This isn’t just whispers; it’s concrete moves and serious interest.
Alexander-Arnold: A Done Deal for Madrid
The biggest confirmed news? Trent Alexander-Arnold made his switch to Real Madrid in the summer of 2025. That deal was worth £8 million, and he’s locked in until 2031. Liverpool, it appears, opted to sell their key defender before he could leave on a free agency, a smart bit of business to get funds. It’s a big move for both clubs, really.
His tenure at Liverpool ended in August 2025, according to GOAL.com listings. Losing Alexander-Arnold is a big change for the Reds, but they did get some cash for him. And Madrid has a top player on a long-term deal. That’s a good position for them.
Mac Allister: The “Dream Signing” on Madrid’s Radar
While Alexander-Arnold is gone, Real Madrid’s attention hasn’t left Anfield. Reports suggest they’re monitoring midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. They see him as a midfield target for summer 2026. One journalist even called him a “dream signing.” That’s high praise. And it shows how much they value his play.
The Athletic reported a boost in Real Madrid’s pursuit of an unnamed Liverpool star, and it looks like Mac Allister is the one. No fees or anything like that are tied to Mac Allister yet, just interest. But when Real Madrid comes calling, things usually get serious. OneFootball also mentioned Real plotting a “double raid.” So, Mac Allister might not be the only one they want.
Liverpool’s Busy Transfer Market
Liverpool hasn’t been sitting still either. The 2025-26 transfer window was busy for them. They brought in Florian Wirtz for £116m, Miloskez for £40m, and even Alexander Isak in a record deal. That’s big money coming in and going out.
And Alexander-Arnold wasn’t the only one leaving. Caoimhín Kelleher went to Brentford for £18m, Luis Diaz moved to Bayern Munich for £65.5m, and Darwin Nunez joined Al Hilal for £46m. Jarell Quansah, Nat Phillips, Tyler Morton all left too.
This suggests Liverpool’s management is not afraid to shake things up. The club confirmed Alexander-Arnold’s departure through an official club announcement. They needed to get money for him before he walked away for free. That was a smart, strategic move for them.
So, forget the father comments. The real story here is Real Madrid’s consistent targeting of Liverpool’s talent. Alexander-Arnold is already a Galactico. And it seems Mac Allister could be next on their list. Liverpool’s transfer strategy looks aggressive. They are rebuilding. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the next year or two.
