Liverpool midfielders have become a hot topic of sorts in the Real Madrid camp lately.
Earlier in the season, Dominik Szoboszlai was linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu. But the links are not only restricted to the Hungarian international, as Alexis Mac Allister has also been linked with a move to the Spanish capital.
What makes things interesting is that Mac Allister’s father, Carlos, has recently denied having any contract talks with Liverpool, amid reports linking him to Santiago Bernabeu.
Mac Allister not in talks with Liverpool
Diario AS reports that Carlos Mac Allister, in a recent interaction with Win Win, has denied his son having any renewal talks with Liverpool.
“There are no negotiations with Liverpool to renew the contract,” said Carlos, whose comments come against the backdrop of Ryan Gravenberch’s recent extension.

Mac Allister, alongside Szoboszlai and Gravenberch are considered the trident of the Liverpool midfield.
But the renewal of Gravenberch, coupled with Liverpool’s high regard for Szoboszlai, has put question marks on Mac Allister’s future.
Despite having a contract at Anfield until 2028, the Argentine has already been linked with a move to Real Madrid and given his status at Liverpool, it won’t be surprising to see him fancy a move elsewhere.
That being said, Mac Allister’s father has assured that his son is happy and comfortable at Liverpool, at least for now.
Whether or not this will change in the near future remains to be seen. It will be particularly interesting to see if Real Madrid will make a move for the Argentine international in the coming summer.
The Spanish giants are reportedly open to selling Eduardo Camavinga at the end of the season, potentially paving the way for the club to bring in fresh faces.
