Mac Allister's Father Addresses Manchester United Transfer Speculation
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been linked with a potential move to bitter rivals Manchester United, but his father has now spoken out on the matter. The 27-year-old Argentine, who joined the Reds from Brighton for £55 million in 2023, is under contract at Anfield until 2028.
Father's Clear Message on Transfer Possibility
Carlos Mac Allister, the player's father, was questioned by media outlet winwin about the possibility of his son making a groundbreaking switch from Merseyside to Manchester. He made it very clear where Mac Allister stands, stating his son is "only thinking about Liverpool" at the moment.
Carlos added: "We are waiting for an offer to renew his contract. We will see what the club's plan is." When asked if Mac Allister could leave should negotiations stall, he replied: "We'll wait and see what happens with the renewal. That's all."
Mac Allister's Liverpool Journey and Current Season
Having arrived from Brighton, the versatile Mac Allister played a pivotal role in Liverpool's Premier League title triumph last season under manager Arne Slot. This season has been more challenging for both player and club, with Liverpool failing to mount a strong title defence and currently sitting outside the top four positions.
The midfielder has had to adapt to a deeper role this season following the introduction of Florian Wirtz to the starting lineup. Despite the team's struggles, Mac Allister recently told the club's website: "We feel like we are in a good moment. In a much better moment than the beginning of the season. We are improving as a team which is the most important thing."
Manchester United's Reported Interest
Manchester United have long been searching for a new superstar midfielder according to reports, and Mirror Football exclusively revealed this week that Mac Allister is on their agenda. The Red Devils are reportedly keeping tabs on the Argentine international and may attempt to lure him to Old Trafford at the end of the current season.
The potential transfer would represent a significant move between two of English football's biggest rivals, but Mac Allister's father's comments suggest the player remains committed to Liverpool for now. The midfielder turns 28 this year and his future will likely depend on contract renewal negotiations with his current club.
