REAL MADRID EYE £55M LIVERPOOL GEM, JANUARY MOVE DECISION REVEALED

Real Madrid are keen on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, with Xabi Alonso reportedly an admirer. However, sources confirm the midfielder is happy at Anfield and a January move is highly unlikely.

According to two trustworthy sources, Real Madrid will be extremely disappointed if they think Alexis Mac Allister will depart Liverpool and sign with Xabi Alonso's team during the January transfer window.

Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield on Tuesday night in the Champions League, with Mac Allister playing a key role. The 26-year-old Argentina international midfielder not only scored the game-winning goal in the 61st minute, but he also dominated play and put on an all-around performance in the middle of the park.

Fichajes claims that manager Xabi Alonso was impressed by Mac Allister's performance against Real Madrid and informed Los Blancos that he "urgently needs" the former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder in his squad.

This follows rumours that Real Madrid was "making steps to sign Alexis Mac Allister" last month, with a January deal "not ruled out," according to the English media.

The idea that Mac Allister will leave Liverpool in January has been refuted by transfer journalist Pete O'Rourke, who has stated that the midfield player, who cost the reigning Premier League champions £55 million (€63.2 million, $73.7 million, with add-ons) when they purchased him in 2023, is content at Anfield.

"This conjecture regarding Mac Allister and Real Madrid has been going on for a time now," O'Rourke told Football Insider.

There has been discussion about it during the last few transfer windows. You simply never know.

We are aware that Real Madrid is most likely currently lacking a midfield player. Luka Modric and Toni Kroos have not really been replaced in that midfield engine room.

In a recent statement, his father expressed his admiration for the interest and stated that he would never rule out a move to a major club like Real Madrid.

To be fair to the player, he denied rumours in the summer, claiming that no contact had been made and that he was content at Liverpool.

It is merely conjecture as of right now. Both he and Liverpool are content with Mac Allister. Therefore, I do not anticipate a move on that one in the near future.

"As I previously stated, Madrid, we will undoubtedly be examining some guys as they often do."

What TEAMtalk has learned about Alexis Mac Allister via sources


TEAMtalk is also aware that Liverpool is content with Mac Allister and has no plans to let go of their Argentine star anytime soon.

We can verify that Mac Allister, who has already won the Premier League and the Carabao Cup with Liverpool, is a target for Real Madrid.

On September 20, our transfer expert Dean Jones stated: "At this time, Liverpool has not publicly stated its position on Mac Allister other than that they intend to have him play a key role in their squad for the remainder of the season.

However, based on my investigations, the Real Madrid connections appear to be real. He is very grounded and unlikely to become agitated like some players do.

"I would not go so far as to claim he would be untouchable at the end of the season, but Liverpool supporters will not want to hear about any transfer ties between them and Madrid right now."

The midfielder, who won the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America with Argentina, is content at Liverpool and will make his own decisions, according to statements made in public by Mac Allister's father.

On November 4, Carlos Mac Allister was quoted by the Liverpool Echo as saying: "I read the rumours, but that is all they were." No communication was made.

"Anyway, it is always pleasant when my son is associated with the world's most prestigious clubs. Real Madrid and Liverpool are both very large clubs, so we must take responsibility and show respect for the organisation he is a part of and that had faith in him.

"I must exercise caution. He now plays for Liverpool. He will have to make his own choices in the future if the chance presents itself and it is suitable.

That is how I brought them up. They have the duty to act in accordance with their own judgment, and I am free to express my opinion.

PSG TARGETING VICTOR OSIMHEN IN POTENTIAL €150M BLOCKBUSTER TRANSFER

PSG is linked with a shock move for Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is in top form, but the Turkish club will demand a fee of around €150 million for any transfer.

According to Reports, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been connected to a surprise move to PSG, a team in the French Ligue 1. 

For the last five years, Osimhen has been among the world's most attractive shooters. In France, Italy, Belgium, and now at Galatasaray, he has continuously scored goals.

The 26-year-old striker has already shown his worth after joining the Turkish powerhouses in the summer for a league-record €75 million.

Osimhen has six goals in three games this season, which puts him atop the UEFA Champions League goalscoring chart. He scored a record-breaking hat-trick at Ajax this week, which was his most recent haul.

Many clubs have taken notice of Osimhen's performances, and if he keeps up his current pace, a larger team may attempt to sign him away from Galatasaray in the near future.

Meanwhile, according to recent claims from Fichajes, PSG may even try to sign the former Lille player. They claim that coach Luis Enrique has requested that the team sign a top striker who is similar to Osimhen.

PSG's top nine. Since moving from Benfica for €65 million two years ago, Goncalo Ramos has not been totally convincing, and Enrique thinks a striker like Osimhen would help them keep up their position at the top of European football.

In response to PSG's interest, Galatasaray has committed €150 million for Victor Osimhen.


Fichajes claims that Galatasaray will only consider offers for Victor Osimhen that total about €150 million.

However, given that they recently paid €75 million for him and placed him on a massive wage plan, this is not shocking. They will therefore wish to recover the majority of their capital as well as more.

In addition, Alxander Isak, who is nearly as good as Osimhen, cost more than €140 million during the most recent summer transfer window. Galatasaray would therefore believe that they have the right to demand €150 million.

PSG has a reputation for spending a lot of money. The record of €222 million for Neymar is still in their possession. This is not the first time Osimhen and PSG have been connected. Les Parisiens would undoubtedly spend a fortune if they truly wanted him.

PREMIER LEAGUE RIVALS BEWARE: ERLING HAALAND PROMISES RELENTLESS CITY ATTACKING THREAT

In his quest for more goals, Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that he is in the best physical and mental shape of his career.

With 13 goals so far this season, the Premier League's leading scorer has more than doubled his nearest rivals, including Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth.

Haaland is hoping to surpass his previous best of 52 goals in a single season, having scored 18 goals in 14 games across all competitions going into Sunday's matchup with Liverpool.

The 25-year-old declared, "I think this is the best version of myself." "This is the best feeling I have ever had."I feel great, and it is been a terrific start.

I have to keep my head in the correct place in order to stay sharp. It involves maintaining equilibrium and staying in the zone.

With a victory over Arne Slot's team at the Etihad Stadium, City may move four points clear of Liverpool thanks to Haaland's incredible play, which has kept them in the hunt behind league leaders Arsenal.

Erling Haaland has cautioned Manchester City's opponents that, in his quest for more goals, he is in the finest physical and mental shape of his career.

In addition, Haaland honoured City manager Pep Guardiola before his 1,000th game in charge. 

Pep Guardiola's 1000th game as manager is brought up during the discussion, and Haaland feels that City owes its head coach to fire themselves into the running for the championship.

It is the brilliant Pep Guardiola. The Norwegian continued. There is a reason he has been winning so much: his hard work and dedication.

Take a look at all that he has accomplished for this team and over his career; it is quite amazing. It is about cooperating; we must pay attention to him as he instructs us on how to play and what to do. He deserves our performance, so we must do it for him.

Guardiola said Liverpool are ideal opponents for the day he hits 1,000 and denied claims that his coaching has tactically altered the game.

Eight of the nine titles since Guardiola took over have been won by City and Liverpool, who were separated by just one point in two of those seasons.

"They would be the best rival if I had to pick only one for my personal milestone," Guardiola remarked. Liverpool has been the nation's fiercest adversary, particularly under Jurgen Klopp.

To be honest, it could not be better. That was decided by the universe. Living life to the fullest is pleasant. I am sorry, but the numbers are crazy.

"The wins, the average (points), not only in the Premier League but also in the Champions League... we have achieved amazing feats here, at Barcelona, and in Bayern Munich."

It is hard to get to, and I would not get there if I started over. Throughout history, managers have had an influence. Since the numbers support it and it has been enjoyable to watch our team, I can say that I have been involved.
