Liverpool given major boost as Alexis Mac Allister’s father shuts down summer exit talk
Liverpool have received a significant boost in their midfield planning after Carlos Mac Allister firmly dismissed speculation that his son could leave Anfield this summer.
Despite persistent links with several high-profile European clubs, the midfielder’s camp has moved quickly to end talk of an imminent departure. Speaking to WinWinAllSports (as reported by Fabrizio Romano), Carlos Mac Allister stated: “Alexis will stay at Liverpool, and we have not discussed any possibility of him leaving the club this summer.”
The clear message will come as a relief to the Merseyside club. The 27-year-old World Cup winner has already returned to pre-season training at the AXA Training Centre after an extended break and is focused on preparing for the new campaign with the Reds.
Mac Allister’s name had featured heavily in transfer columns in recent weeks. Manchester City were the latest side linked, with reports suggesting they viewed the Argentine as a potential long-term option in midfield. Chelsea were also said to be monitoring the situation, while Real Madrid’s interest dates back to last summer.
With Carlos Mac Allister closing the door so decisively, Liverpool appear set to retain one of the key engines of their midfield heading into the new season.
