<p>The Argentine star, who joined the Merseyside giants from Brighton in 2023, has emerged as a reported target for Real Madrid. The World Cup winner has reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/how-real-madrid-fill-gaping-toni-kroos-shaped-hole-alexis-mac-allister-trent-alexander-arnold-midfield-solutions/blta3ed1f83e91230cd#cs85f4f32ecafd29ae" target="_blank">leapfrogged Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi</a> in Madrid’s pecking order of midfield targets. However, when asked directly about these rumours, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-real-madrid-alexis-mac-allister-conor-bradley-mohamed-salah/blt0376887f6b91fcc8" target="_blank">Mac Allister provided a composed and grounded response.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In an interview with TyC Sports journalist Gastón Edul, the Argentine international acknowledged the buzz around him but stressed that he remains focused on his commitments with Liverpool.</p><p>“I read the rumours and the news reaches me, but the important thing is the present. No matter how much the club loves me, if I play poorly this weekend, they’ll lose interest,” he said.</p><p>This is not the first time the Mac Allister camp has addressed transfer speculation. Earlier in April, the player’s father, Carlos Mac Allister, made it <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/alexis-mac-allister-s-father-speaks-out-real-madrid-transfer-links-liverpool-midfielder-tipped-follow-trent-alexander-arnold-santiago-bernabeu/blt34ccb18d8d4b1d85" target="_blank">clear that his son is not planning an early exit </a>from Liverpool and intends to fulfil his contract that runs until 2028.</p><p>Echoing his father, Mac Allister said: "I’m fine at Liverpool and I don’t have any need. So, I have a lot of respect for the club, and I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about other clubs."</p>

WHAT MAC ALLISTER SAID

<p>Mac Allister also shed light on his experience adjusting to life in England and the support he’s received from fans and team-mates alike. Despite being far from home, he described a strong connection with the local community and a deep appreciation for the club’s ethos.</p><p>“I’m a little far away, so some fans greet you with respect, but in the city, they are more passionate. The club is like a family. One phrase sums it all up: You’ll never walk alone,” he said.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While speculation continues to swirl, Mac Allister is laser-focused on Liverpool’s title ambitions. Arne Slot’s side, sitting atop the table, have the opportunity to clinch their 20th top-flight crown - potentially equalling Manchester United’s record - this coming Sunday at Anfield, against a Tottenham Hotspur side battling poor form.</p>
