Mac Allister to Real Madrid? His father speaks out

Madrid, Spain — Speculation linking Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister with a future move to Real Madrid has intensified after his father and representative, Carlos Mac Allister, confirmed that no talks are underway to extend the player’s contract at Anfield.

“There are currently no negotiations with Liverpool to renew the contract,” Carlos Mac Allister told reporters, a statement that will alert suitors across Europe. The 27-year-old Argentine international, signed from Brighton in 2023 for a fee of around £35 million, is tied to Liverpool until 2028, yet the absence of renewal discussions leaves the door ajar for potential bidders.

Since arriving on Merseyside, Mac Allister has made 136 appearances for the Reds, contributing 19 goals and 17 assists. His combative style and technical quality have made him a standout performer even as the team has slipped to sixth place in the Premier League table.

Liverpool’s hierarchy are understood to be prioritising other issues at present, leaving the midfielder’s long-term future uncertain. Real Madrid, long-term admirers of the World Cup winner, are expected to monitor developments closely, although no formal approach has been confirmed.

With European clubs keeping close tabs, the coming months could prove pivotal in determining whether Mac Allister remains part of Arne Slot’s project or pursues a new challenge elsewhere.
