Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister’s future at the club is back in the spotlight following the latest comments from his father.
Despite being the linchpin of their midfield, speculation over a possible move to Real Madrid continues to swirl, fueling suggestions that the Spanish giants see the Argentine as a key target to strengthen their midfield.
Carlos Mac Allister comments on Alexis’ future at Liverpool
In an interview with WinWin All Sports, the midfielder’s father and agent Carlos Mac Allister gave a cautious view of his son’s career path.
He was quick to highlight Alexis’ contribution to the current Reds, but stopped short of ruling out a future departure.
“We have to be careful. He is currently playing for Liverpool. In the future, if an opportunity arises and it is suitable, he will have to make the decision himself.
“All I can say at the moment is that Alexis is focused on Liverpool and this season. Alexis is very happy and comfortable at Liverpool.”
Mac Allister remains a key part of Liverpool’s midfield despite a late start to the 25/26 season
The 27-year-old World Cup winner has had a somewhat subdued start to the 2025/26 season, with some critics suggesting his physical level has declined. However, he remains an integral part of Slot’s tactical setup.
Only Virgil van Dijk has matched Mac Allister in terms of appearances this season, underscoring his importance.
Although his Premier League goals remain low, he has continued to perform well in the Champions League, scoring once against Real Madrid and scoring two masterclasses against Qarabag.
Since joining from Brighton in 2023 for £35m, Mac Allister has transformed Liverpool’s engine room.
He played a key role in the club winning the Premier League title in 2024/25 and the League Cup in 2024.
Despite Madrid remaining Alexis Mac Allister’s dream destination, his contract runs until 2028 and Liverpool are still in a good negotiating position.
However, Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring his situation closely, and these “cautious” comments from Mac Allister’s camp are sure to put Anfield officials on high alert.
