Real Madrid are reportedly ‘preparing’ to submit an ‘offer’ to sign a second Liverpool star to follow Trent Alexander-Arnold in joining the La Liga giants. The Spanish outfit are set to sign long-term Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer when he becomes a free agent this summer.

As reported by Empire of the Kop, Madrid are 'assessing' Alexis Mac Allister as a potential candidate for the summer as they look to add to their midfield options. According to the report, Mac Allister is seen as a potential long-term replacement for Luka Modric and Los Blancos are prepared to offer as much as €90 million.
