Diego Simeone targets Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister for Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone is reportedly interested in acquiring Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. Despite Mac Allister's key role in Liverpool's midfield, he has not received a new contract, while teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch have recently signed extensions. With Mac Allister's current deal expiring in 2028, Liverpool's sporting director Julian Ward faces a decision on the player's future. Atletico Madrid is prepared to make a move for Mac Allister if Liverpool does not extend his contract before next summer.
