Carlos Mac Allister has responded to fresh speculation linking his son, Alexis Mac Allister, with a surprise switch to Manchester United FC.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, The Mirror reported that figures at Old Trafford are exploring the possibility of signing the Liverpool FC midfielder. It was claimed that co-owner Jim Ratcliffe would be interested in making a move for the 27-year-old should he become available.<\/p>\n
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano played down the rumours, explaining that although United are expected to be active in strengthening their midfield in the summer, he is not aware of anything concrete regarding the Argentina international.<\/p>\n
Carlos Mac Allister responds<\/p>\n
Speaking to WinWin, Mac Allister\u2019s father stressed that his son\u2019s focus remains solely on Liverpool and revealed that they are awaiting a proposal to extend his current contract at Anfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlexis is only thinking about Liverpool right now. We\u2019re waiting for an offer to renew his deal. We\u2019ll see what the club\u2019s plans are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
When asked whether the midfielder would consider a move abroad if an agreement cannot be reached, Carlos added: \u201cWe\u2019ll wait and see what happens with the renewal. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Contract situation at Anfield<\/p>\n
This is not the first time Mac Allister\u2019s father has publicly dismissed transfer talk involving the Reds\u2019 number 10. Just two weeks ago, he addressed renewed links with Real Madrid CF, whom the Argentine famously scored against in a Champions League clash in November.<\/p>\n
With his current Liverpool deal running until June 2028, there is no immediate urgency to finalise an extension. However, Carlos\u2019 comments suggest that Alexis would welcome the club making the first move.<\/p>\n
The Argentine may also be mindful that Dominik Szoboszlai \u2014 who joined Liverpool in the same summer and has a similarly long contract \u2014 has already begun discussions over a new deal.<\/p>\n
Despite the noise surrounding United\u2019s reported interest, it seems highly unlikely Liverpool would entertain selling a key figure to a direct rival. For now, Mac Allister\u2019s future appears firmly tied to Anfield, even if his father would prefer the contract situation to be resolved sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
