As the curtain falls on Liverpool’s season, the rumor mill is in full swing with speculations about potential transfers at Anfield. While new manager Arne Slot likely has a list of desired summer signings, some current squad members are also attracting interest from other clubs.
One such player is Alexis Mac Allister, who has reportedly caught the eye of Real Madrid. A Spanish journalist even suggested that a move to Los Blancos is ‘very possible’ within the next year (DSports Radio). However, the 25-year-old midfielder has firmly shut down these rumors.
Speaking to ESPN upon his arrival in Argentina for Copa America preparations, Mac Allister addressed the speculation: “I don’t talk about assumptions. I’m very happy at Liverpool.” This straightforward dismissal is reassuring for Liverpool fans. Had he responded vaguely, it would have only fueled the speculation further.
There have been claims that Mac Allister’s Liverpool contract includes a release clause of €70m (£60m) (DSports Radio). If true, this could potentially make him a target for Real Madrid or other clubs willing to meet that valuation. However, having only joined from Brighton last summer and featuring prominently with 3,500 minutes of playtime, it seems unlikely that he would be looking to leave Merseyside so soon.
Mac Allister’s firm denial of the Real Madrid rumors is a relief for Liverpool supporters. His significant contribution to the team this season suggests he’s committed to continuing his journey at Anfield. Fans can likely look forward to seeing more of his talent in the coming years.
In summary, despite the swirling transfer rumors, Mac Allister’s clear statement about his happiness at Liverpool should quell any fears of an imminent departure. As the Reds gear up for the new season, his presence will be crucial in their quest for domestic and European glory.
