Liverpool are enjoying one of their best seasons in years, leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables. The squad is playing with remarkable unity, with Mohamed Salah leading the charge. However, several players have stood out in recent matches, including Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister. The 25-year-old has openly expressed his ambition to play in Spain one day, following summer links to a potential move to Real Madrid.
Alexis Mac Allister recently revealed his openness to a future move to La Liga while speaking to AS, hinting at the possibility of leaving Liverpool one day.
The Reds’ No.10 has been a key figure in Arne Slot’s midfield this season, delivering strong performances across 21 appearances and scoring twice. Partnering with the likes of Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, or Curtis Jones, Mac Allister has played a vital role in maintaining Liverpool’s high level of consistency and dominance.
The Argentine is very unlikely to leave
Alexis Mac Allister, who turns 26 later this month, could potentially fit into Barcelona’s squad. However, with Real Madrid’s current squad depth, it’s difficult to see why they would pursue him at this stage. That being said, Mac Allister did make a statement by scoring against Los Blancos in the Champions League at Anfield last month.
Since joining Liverpool from Brighton last year, the £150,000-per-week star has been a pivotal figure for the Reds. He has featured in 67 games, contributing to 16 goals, further solidifying his importance in Arne Slot’s midfield setup.
In the recent interview, Alexis Mac Allister expressed his admiration for Spain, highlighting its similarities to Argentina in terms of language and culture. He revealed that he had visited the country multiple times and found it appealing. However, the World Cup winner was quick to reassure Liverpool fans, stating that he is currently very happy at the club and is not thinking about his future elsewhere.
The Argentine explained
“Yes, why not? It is a country that I really like, and I have visited it several times, and above all, because of the language and culture it is very similar to Argentina.”
“Right now, I’m very comfortable at Liverpool and I don’t think about what might happen in the future.”

While Liverpool would likely demand a significant fee for Alexis Mac Allister, any potential move in the near future seems unlikely. However, history has shown that South American playmakers, like Philippe Coutinho’s £142 million transfer to Barcelona in 2018, have made similar high-profile switches to Spain, leaving the door open for future possibilities.
