Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has a secret release clause in his contract, which Real Madrid plan on triggering, according to reports.

The Argentine arrived at Anfield from Brighton last summer in a cut-price deal worth around £35million due to a release clause in his Seagulls deal.

Mac Allister soon became one of Jurgen Klopp's most-trusted players, playing 45 games and providing six goals and seven assists from midfield.

The midfielder signed a five-year deal to join Liverpool and DSports Radio claim the player has again had a release clause inserted into his contract, and this one is worth around £60m (€70m).

The report adds that Real Madrid are aware of the contract trigger and are expected to make a move to sign Mac Allister within the next year.

Carlo Ancelotti needs to replace ageing midfield stars Luka Modric, 38, and Toni Kroos, 34, both who are expected to leave on free transfers at the end of the current season.
