Liverpool are taking a firm stance on Alexis Mac Allister during the summer transfer window.
The club intends to secure the Argentine midfielder’s future at Anfield by opening talks later this year over a new contract. With two years remaining on his current deal, Liverpool want to underline his importance to the squad and keep him as a central figure in their long-term project, sources have informed CaughtOffside.
Alexis Mac Allister wanted by multiple clubs
Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid expressed interest earlier in the summer, while Chelsea and Manchester City also made contact in recent weeks.
However, Mac Allister’s representatives and Liverpool rejected these approaches. His father, who also acts as his agent, confirmed that leaving the club was never considered and that the player will remain at Liverpool. This effectively closed the door on any transfer this summer.
Mac Allister is eager to work under new head coach Andoni Iraola and sees himself playing a leading role in Liverpool’s project. His current market value is estimated at €70 million, while Liverpool set a €100 million threshold in July, signalling their reluctance to sell.
Mac Allister has been a key player
Having joined from Brighton in 2023 for €42 million, he has since become a key figure for both club and country, with 54 caps and 7 goals for Argentina.
Galatasaray are monitoring the Premier League market and have Mac Allister on their radar. Yet, given the player’s commitment to Liverpool and the club’s firm position, any move this summer appears impossible.
Liverpool are already lacking depth in the middle of the park, and they cannot afford to lose a key player like Mac Allister anytime soon. It makes sense to extend his stay at the club.
They had a poor season by their standards last time out, and they will look to bounce back strongly in the upcoming campaign. They need to keep their best players.
