Former Liverpool man, Jermaine Pennant, has slammed Real Madrid and termed Carlo Ancelotti’s team as ‘annoying’ for targeting multiple Reds players this summer.
Los Blancos youngster Arda Guler is being linked with a swap deal for midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.
Speaking in an interview with Makthavare, the former winger said that Liverpool must avoid Real Madrid’s reported offer for Mac Allister.
“Real Madrid keep trying to pinch Liverpool’s players, they’re annoying! I hope they don’t take Alexis MacAllister this summer,” he said.
“He’s such an important player for Liverpool and he’s quite often the unsung hero, he makes the team tick.
“He’s not like Xabi Alonso who sprays 60-yard passes around the pitch, but he’s very clever with his smaller passes and has an eye for goal himself. I hope that this transfer doesn’t materialise.
“Arda Guler has been mentioned in a swap deal, and I think he’s a great player and would be a good addition, but for me, he wouldn’t fill that gap.”
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are looking for a perfect replacement for Luka Modric and have identified the Argentina international.
