Report: Liverpool crush Real Madrid transfer hopes

Both players are committed to the Reds' Premier League title charge, with sources close to the club dismissing any talk of departures.

The Reds are enjoying a stellar season, sitting 13 points clear of second-placed Arsenal after a commanding weekend victory.

Their dominance was further bolstered by contract extensions for Mohamed Salah, who signed a two-year deal, and Virgil van Dijk, whose new agreement was confirmed on Thursday. These commitments have solidified Liverpool's core for the long term.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are reeling from a 5-1 aggregate thrashing by Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals. Reports from Sky Sports indicate that manager Carlo Ancelotti faces the sack after the Copa del Rey final on April 26, as the club scrambles to address their faltering campaign.

Amid this turmoil, Real Madrid have been heavily linked with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is on course to join them as a free agent when his contract expires in the summer of 2025.

Speculation also swirled around Gravenberch and Mac Allister, with Gravenberch's agent, Jose Rodriguez, fueling rumors by stating, "We would love for him to play for Real Madrid." Spanish outlet Marca similarly tied Mac Allister to a potential Bernabeu switch.

However, these claims have been comprehensively debunked.

The Daily Mail reported that Rodriguez's comments were misinterpreted, reflecting his personal admiration for Real Madrid rather than Gravenberch's intentions. "A move is impossible," the outlet declared, adding that Gravenberch, thriving under Arne Slot, has no desire to leave.

The Dutch midfielder has been a key figure in Liverpool's midfield, with recent X posts from fans praising his "world-class" performances in a 3-1 win over Tottenham on April 13.

Mac Allister's camp was equally dismissive. His father, Carlos Mac Allister, told winwin.com, "Alexis is very happy at Liverpool and hopes to be crowned Premier League champion. He has a contract until 2028, and let's hope he stays there."

Carlos emphasized his son's respect for Liverpool, calling transfer talk "unnecessary." The Daily Mirror further cemented this stance, stating, "Mac Allister has no interest in a move to Real Madrid, even if they come for him."

Liverpool's official X account echoed this stability, posting on April 15, about the team's focus on their upcoming fixtures, with Slot praising the squad's "unwavering commitment."

The Reds' midfield duo are central to their ambitions, and this resolute stance sends a clear message: Liverpool are building a dynasty, not dismantling one.
