Alexis Mac Allister\u2019s agent and father, Carlos Mac Allister, has reiterated the midfielder\u2019s commitment to Liverpool amid reported interest from Real Madrid. Asked about the speculation, Carlos told winwin: “What I can say at the moment is that Alexis is focused on Liverpool and the current season.<\/p>\n
“Alexis is very happy and very comfortable with Liverpool .”<\/p>\n
The agent\u2019s statement does not directly deny earlier claims that Real Madrid did not actively pursue or “fully explore” a move, only that representatives of the Spanish club had received “positive feedback” from his entourage. With the transfer window closed and the season ongoing, Mac Allister Sr. chose to underline his son\u2019s focus on the present campaign.<\/p>\n
Discussion in the wider market has also underlined why Mac Allister is seen as a more practical target for Real Madrid than some other midfield options. Vitinha signed a new deal at Paris Saint-Germain last year that runs until 2029, while Fern\u00e1ndez is tied to Chelsea until 2032. Those long contracts leave the selling clubs in a position to demand very large fees and mean neither player is likely to be available for anything less than nine figures.<\/p>\n
By contrast, Mac Allister\u2019s Liverpool contract will have two years remaining at the end of this season, which is commonly when clubs begin considering next steps on renewals. Liverpool are typically keen to open extension talks around that two-year mark, although the club\u2019s handling of similar timing for Trent Alexander-Arnold did not follow that pattern.<\/p>\n
That episode became a cautionary example after uncertainty in 2023 over J\u00fcrgen Klopp\u2019s future left negotiations delayed and, by the time Liverpool returned to the table, Alexander-Arnold was being courted by Real Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
