Also, for Atletico coach Diego Simeone, bringing in Mac Allister has become a priority.
Some of the Argentina midfielder's teammates already play in Atletico Madrid's squad: Juan Musso, Nahuel Molina, Nico Gonzalez, Thiago Almada, Giuliano Simeone and Julián Alvarez, which would facilitate his adaptation. Especially since Diego Simeone is also Argentinian.
Liverpool will not stop Mac Allister and will try to make the most of the situation, wanting to sell him for a substantial amount. The footballer looks positively at the possibility of continuing his career in La Liga.
Last season, Mac Allister appeared in 55 matches in all competitions, managing to score 5 goals and provide 7 assists.

The world champion's current contract with Liverpool is valid until the summer of 2028. The footballer is valued at 80 million euros, according to the specialist website transfermarkt.com.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have snapped up Denzel Dumfries and the Dutchman is now waiting for the Spaniards to pay his €20m release clause. Florentino Perez also want to bring in Ibrahima Konate, free of contract after leaving Liverpool.
