Real Madrid is actively searching for midfield reinforcements this summer. The club has struggled to compensate for the absence of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, and despite initial hopes that Fede Valverde or Eduardo Camavinga might become long-term partners for Aurelien Tchouameni, this season’s performance has seemingly dispelled that notion.
While Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi has ruled out a move to Real Madrid, speculation continues regarding other targets. Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez has been mentioned, but his transfer fee could prove prohibitive. Additionally, AZ Alkmaar’s young talent Kees Smit has been frequently discussed, though it remains unclear if Real Madrid would entrust their midfield to such an inexperienced player.
Liverpool Open to Selling Alexis Mac Allister
One player who has been previously linked with Real Madrid is Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. While discussions about the Argentinian international have somewhat subsided in the Spanish capital, a transfer could be mutually beneficial. According to The Telegraph, Liverpool is considering selling Mac Allister to fund a squad overhaul. He currently has two years remaining on his contract at Anfield, with no indication of an extension being in the works.
Liverpool Shows Interest in Eduardo Camavinga
A potential factor that could facilitate a deal is Liverpool’s apparent interest in one of the players Real Madrid might be willing to part with as they pursue midfield acquisitions. Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly expected to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, and Liverpool made contact with Camavinga’s representatives last month to gauge his interest in a move. The two clubs have a history of successful transfer dealings.
