Four days ago, DSports Radio came up with a surprise claim that Real Madrid are closely following Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister and that he could join them ‘within a year’.
The Argentina international is in the squad for the Copa América and has returned to his country, after finishing the season at Liverpool.
ESPN had a chat with the midfielder, where he was asked about the claims of Real Madrid interest, and his comments are relayed by Infobae.
The 25-year-old left Brighton & Hove Albion for Liverpool last summer and finished his first season at Anfield with seven goals and seven assists from 46 matches.
Real Madrid’s Toni Kroos has announced his retirement and this would have further led to speculations of Los Blancos’ interest in the Liverpool player, if not for his latest admission.
Mac Allister’s deal lasts until 2028 and Infobae insist ‘it will not be an easy task’ for the La Liga side or any other club to take him away from the Reds, at least in the summer window.
Meanwhile, the South American’s immediate focus is on the Copa América.
“It is always a pride to be in the national team, I am very happy I found out about the call through the networks, at the same time as you,” Mac Allister explained.
