Liverpool player’s agent responds to transfer claims – Reds fans ‘deserve respect’

Liverpool‘s Alexis Mac Allister hasn’t had his best campaign with the Premier League side this season.

The Reds started their title defence with five wins in a row. Since then, they’ve won 12 of their last 30 league matches.

Liverpool now sit fourth in the table, level on points with fifth placed Aston Villa and will finish trophy-less this season.

Last month, Paris Saint-Germain knocked the English club out of the Champions League. After the elimination, the Argentina international said he’s unhappy as he was expecting Liverpool to have a successful campaign.

Mac Allister is one of the players under criticism and this led to suggestions that his future at Anfield is uncertain.

Agent sends message to Liverpool fans

WinWin caught up with Alexis Mac Allister’s father, Carlos, who is also the Liverpool man’s agent.

The representative says there’s been no talks with another club over the 27-year-old’s potential transfer. He also revealed Arne Slot’s side have not contacted him to talk about a new contract.

He said: “Alexis has a contract that runs until June 2028, and so far, we haven’t been in public talks with any other club.

“We believe the club’s fans deserve that level of respect from the player. So far, the club hasn’t negotiated with us regarding a contract renewal.”

The World Cup winner graduated from Boca Juniors’ youth system. He spent three years with them before joining Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2019.

Two months ago, the Reds player said he would “love to” return to River Plate at some point in the future.

What next for Mac Allister and Liverpool

The English club’s immediate focus is to secure Champions League qualification and then work on reshaping their squad in the summer.

Alexis Mac Allister will look to finish on a bright note and then join the Argentine squad for the world Cup.

His contract expires in 2028, and Transfermarkt value him at €80m. If the Reds plan to extend his contract, discussions are unlikely to take place until after the World Cup.

The South American has played 52 matches this season, managing six goals and seven assists.
