Reds Eye Alexander Isak as Replacement Amid Real Madrid’s Shock Interest in Mac Allister
Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez has reportedly given his approval for a potential transfer to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal, with the Reds demanding a staggering €100 million to part ways with the Uruguayan forward.
The 24-year-old has slipped down the pecking order under new manager Arne Slot, and with Liverpool keen to raise funds for another move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak—after having a £110m bid rejected—Núñez’s departure could be key to financing their next big signing.
Núñez Nears Saudi Switch as Al-Hilal Push for Deal
According to TEAMtalk, negotiations between Liverpool and Al-Hilal have intensified in recent weeks after the Saudi club missed out on top targets Victor Osimhen, Alexander Isak, and Benjamin Sesko. Núñez, now their “priority” signing, has reportedly given the “green light” to the move.
Liverpool are holding firm on their valuation, seeking a total package of €100m—mirroring the fee they paid Benfica in 2022—with €75m guaranteed and an additional €25m in potential add-ons.
Real Madrid’s Surprise Move for Mac Allister?
In another twist, Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Real Madrid are preparing a shock €100m (£87m) bid for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. The Argentine, who only joined the Reds last summer, is said to be on Madrid’s shortlist alongside Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as they seek a “high-calibre” midfield reinforcement.
The report suggests Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez could accelerate talks in the coming weeks, with Mac Allister’s playing style seen as a perfect fit for new manager Xabi Alonso’s system.
Liverpool’s Summer of Big Decisions
With Núñez seemingly heading for the exit and Real Madrid lurking for Mac Allister, Liverpool’s transfer strategy is under the microscope. The club remains determined to land a marquee striker, but whether they can secure Isak—or turn to an alternative—could define their season.
Will Núñez’s departure pave the way for a blockbuster signing? And can Liverpool fend off Madrid’s interest in Mac Allister? The final weeks of the transfer window promise high-stakes drama at Anfield.
