The midfielder’s father has revealed that it was a rumour and Real Madrid did not make any contact to sign the South American midfielder. He also added that Mac Allister will be deciding his future if Real Madrid comes calling.
It remains to be seen whether the Spanish outfit decides to make a move for him in the near future. There is no doubt that he is one of the best midfielders in the world right now, and he is still relatively young. He could improve further in the coming seasons. He has all the tools to play for the biggest clubs in the world.
His father said to : “I read the rumours, but that’s all they were. There were no contacts. Anyway, it’s always nice to see my son linked with the biggest clubs in the world. Real Madrid is a huge club, but so is Liverpool, and we have to be responsible and respect the club he belongs to and that believed in him.
“I must be prudent. He plays for Liverpool now, and in the future, if the opportunity arises and it’s appropriate, he’ll have to make his own decisions. That’s what I’ve raised them for. I have the freedom to give them my opinion, and they have the obligation to do what they think is best.”
Liverpool will not want to lose the player anytime soon. They should look to tie him down to a new deal. He has a contract with them until 2028. He is one of the first names on the team sheet, and losing him would be a devastating blow. Liverpool are already lacking in depth in the middle of the park, and losing one of their best players would be a mistake.
If they want to keep fighting for major trophies, they need to keep their best players. Unless the player decides to force an exit, Liverpool should not be too worried about the situation right now. They have been fighting for major trophies, and they won the league title just a few months ago. The player will feel that this is the right place for him to fulfil his ambitions.
