Mac Allister's Agent Breaks Silence on Explosive Real Madrid Transfer Rumors
Alexis Mac Allister continues to be "extremely content" at Liverpool despite speculation linking the Argentine midfielder with a potential move to Real Madrid, according to his father and representative.
Mac Allister was reportedly on Carlo Ancelotti's radar before the manager's exit from Madrid last May, and could now represent a more attainable target for the club compared to what are deemed financially "unrealistic" pursuits of preferred targets Vitinha and Enzo Fernández.
Responding to these reports, Carlos Mac Allister told winwin: "What I can confirm right now is that Alexis is concentrated on Liverpool and the ongoing campaign.
"Alexis is extremely satisfied and settled at Liverpool."
The initial report indicated that Real Madrid hadn't actively pursued or "thoroughly investigated" a potential deal for Mac Allister, though they reportedly received "encouraging signals" from his representatives.
Mac Allister Sr.'s comments don't directly refute this claim, instead emphasizing his son's professional dedication to Liverpool during the active season with the transfer market currently closed.
Could he be receptive if an approach from the Spanish giants emerges in the coming months?

Mac Allister is considered a more achievable target for Real Madrid compared to Vitinha or Fernández due to his contract situation relative to theirs.
Vitinha extended his deal with Paris Saint-Germain last year through 2029, while Fernández remains tied to Chelsea for another six years until 2032. Neither player is expected to be available for less than a nine-figure sum given their clubs' strong negotiating positions.
Mac Allister's Liverpool deal will have just two years remaining at the conclusion of this campaign, the typical timeframe when clubs start considering future plans.
Liverpool typically prefer to initiate contract renewal discussions with key players two years before expiration, which didn't occur with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
In that specific misstep, the situation was delayed due to uncertainty surrounding Jürgen Klopp's future in 2023, and by the time Liverpool were prepared to negotiate, the fullback was already being courted by Real Madrid.
At 27 years old, Mac Allister understands this is the crucial point in his career where he must either commit long-term to Liverpool with a new deal—possibly through 2030—or pursue a high-profile transfer to an even grander platform, recognizing such chances may not arise again.
Regardless of his choice, it should represent the most lucrative contract of his professional journey.
