Alexis Mac Allister referred to the rumor that links him as one of Real Madrid’s next signings

Alexis Mac Allister has responded to rumors linking him to a signing for Real Madrid, stating that he is “very happy” at Liverpool.

The midfielder moved to Anfield in the summer of 2023 after enjoying a successful spell at Brighton & Hove Albion. He quickly became an important figure in Jurgen Klopp’s final year with the Reds, scoring seven goals and the same number of assists in all competitions.

Mac Allister proved versatile in a Liverpool shirt, often playing as a number six to fill the gap left by the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

Reports in Argentina have named Mac Allister as a potential target for Madrid, with links only growing following the news that Toni Kroos will retire after Euro 2024 this summer.

But it seems that Alexis is just starting out at Liverpool and has decided to close any ties with the LaLiga team. In statements to ESPN Argentina After linking up with his team, Mac Allister said: ““I’m not talking about assumptions, I’m very happy in Liverpool.”

While a move to recent LaLiga champions Madrid may seem appealing, closer to home there is much to look forward to as Liverpool must welcome new manager Arne Slot.

It is believed that Slot will value Mac Allister as a vital member of the team, especially with uncertainty surrounding the futures of regular starters Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Reports suggest Liverpool will be looking for a new midfielder this summer to work alongside Mac Allister, with Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners and Benfica’s Orkun Kokcu among the candidates.
