Alexis Mac Allister has been linked with a move from Liverpool to Manchester City this summer, but his father and agent, Carlos Mac Allister, has confirmed that the Argentine will remain at Anfield this season.
The 27-year-old’s future has been a talking point for months, with reports linking him with Real Madrid and Manchester City.
City are reportedly seeking another midfielder despite spending £116m on Elliot Anderson and £86m on Ayyoub Bouaddi.
Alexis Mac Allister was recently claimed to have been offered to City as an alternative to long-term target Enzo Fernandez.
However, speaking to Winwin, Carlos Mac Allister said his son will stay at Liverpool despite contract talks yet to materialise, with two years remaining on his current deal.
“Alexis is not thinking about leaving Liverpool. He wants to stay at the club,” Mac Allister Sr said.
“Liverpool have not started talks to renew Alexis’ contract, but the player’s desire is to continue at the club.”
It is good news that Mac Allister will remain on Merseyside, especially with Liverpool’s midfield depth already lacking.
This is a pivotal season for the Reds’ No. 10 after a poor 2025/26 campaign by his standards. He knows he and the team must improve.
“I actually spoke with one of the guys in the coaching staff last week about our mentality when we are losing, which is something very, very positive,” Mac Allister said, following Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
“But as I said before. We are at Liverpool; there is no transition years. You have to win and that’s what we want.”
