Alexis Mac Allister's father responds to Real Madrid rumours

Carlos Mac Allister, the father of Alexis Mac Allister, has addressed rumours linking his son with a move to Real Madrid, insisting that the midfielder is “very happy” at Liverpool.

He emphasised that it is “important to respect the club he’s playing for” and declined to fuel further speculation regarding his son’s future.

The comments come amid growing speculation about a potential switch to the Bernabeu for the Argentine midfielder.

According to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid have made Mac Allister one of their “priorities” for the upcoming summer transfer window.

The World Cup winner is being touted as a possible target to follow Trent Alexander-Arnold to Madrid.

The English full-back has reportedly already agreed to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer once his contract expires at the end of the season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold played a crucial role in helping Liverpool win both the Premier League and the Champions League

The report also suggests that Madrid could use Arda Güler as part of the deal for Mac Allister.

The talented Turkish winger has found game time hard to come by this season, struggling with both injuries and fierce competition in Madrid’s attacking ranks.

Mac Allister’s father told winwin.com: “Nothing to comment. Alexis is very happy to Liverpool, he’s under contract and wants to win there.

“It’s important to respect the club he’s playing for, any comment from us would be unnecessary.”

Mac Allister’s focus will be firmly on securing the Premier League title.

With a commanding 13-point lead over their nearest rivals, Arsenal, and only six matches remaining, it would take a remarkable collapse for the Reds to miss out on lifting the trophy at the end of the season.

Liverpool will be strong favourites when they travel to Leicester on Easter Sunday.
