15-Second Brief
Liverpool rejected inquiries from Real Madrid, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City for Alexis Mac Allister and are ready to initiate contract extension talks. The player's father confirmed his intention to remain at Anfield.
Liverpool have firmly established their position regarding Alexis Mac Allister's future as the summer transfer window approaches. The Merseyside outfit plans to begin talks on a new long-term contract with the 27-year-old Argentine midfielder later this year.
Interest from top clubs and player’s position
- Interest from rivals: Earlier in the summer, Tottenham and Real Madrid expressed interest in the midfielder, while Chelsea and Manchester City have recently made inquiries. Turkish side Galatasaray is also monitoring the situation.
- Liverpool's response: The Reds and the player's representatives have rejected all offers. In July, the club set a minimum price of €100 million, signalling that parting ways with the Argentine is not on their agenda (given the current market valuation of around €70 million).
- Agent's statement: The player's father, Carlos Mac Allister, who also acts as his agent, confirmed that a departure from Liverpool was never considered.
Key role in the project
Mac Allister, who joined from Brighton in 2023 for €42 million, has established himself as one of the key figures in midfield. He has made 54 appearances and scored 7 goals for the Argentina national team.
With limited depth in the midfield and a desire to strengthen following a challenging previous season, Liverpool sees extending the Argentine's contract as a top priority.
