Ryan Gravenberch is not the only member of Arne Slot’s soon-to-be Premier League-winning Liverpool squad mentioned in conjunction with Real Madrid this month.

Because, while Gravenberch’s agent talked up a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu a week ago, Alexis Mac Allister continues to feature alongside Real Madrid in the gossip columns.

While the Liverpool star’s father insists Anfield is where he wants to be both now and long into the future, it felt telling that Mac Allister is keen to kept the door ajar to Spain.

“It is a country I like a lot and I’ve visited it several times,” the £35 million signing from Brighton and Hove Albion told AS in December of last year.

But right now, I’m very comfortable at Liverpool and I don’t think about what might happen in the future.”

Liverpool have a recent history of losing star players to Spanish giants at the peak of their powers.

So, could history be about to repeat itself?

Fortunately, there is no reason at this stage for anyone connected with Liverpool to lose even a wink of sleep.

Gravenberch’s representative admits that a move to Real Madrid – no matter how much his camp might dream of it – is ‘impossible’ right now.

And, as Spanish reporter Ramon Alvarez de Mon tells El Crack Deportivo, Mac Allister is no longer the type of signing Real Madrid tend to prioritise these days.

I see it as difficult for Real Madrid to undertake an operation such as this.”

Coming to the end of his second season on Merseyside, Mac Allister is set to add a Premier League winners’ medal to last year’s EFL Cup triumph.

The World Cup winner produced one of his most complete performances of the campaign, meanwhile, as Liverpool moved one step closer to glory with Sunday’s 2-1 win over West Ham United.

“For now, I don’t think so,” Carlos Mac Allister said when asked if Alexis could depart in the near future.

I think [moving to Liverpool] has been the best thing he’s had, and that’s why the adaptation was easier.
