Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has been linked with Real Madrid this summer and his father and agent Carlos has addressed the speculation surrounding his son's future at AnfieldAn update on Alexis Mac Allister's Liverpool future and Real Madrid transfer links has been provided(Image: (Photo by Jack Thomas/Getty Images))Carlos Mac Allister, father and agent of Alexis Mac Allister, has played down rumours linking his son to Real Madrid, while also revealing there is no fresh news regarding his Liverpool future.The Argentine midfielder has endured a mixed season at Anfield, with a decision on his contract — which runs until the summer of 2028 — needing to be made in the not-too-distant future.Loose speculation linking Mac Allister to Manchester United surfaced earlier this year, and more recently, Los Blancos have been mentioned in connection with the player. However, Carlos has firmly denied any contact between Real Madrid and his son.Speaking to Erem News, via AS, he said: "What has been circulating about Alexis is false.
There is no new information about Alexis' current situation at Liverpool."The AS report also notes that Mac Allister is among a host of midfielders on Real's radar, alongside Enzo Fernandez, Kees Smit, Vitinha, Joao Neves, and Rodri.While Mac Allister's camp has confirmed no approach has been made, Los Blancos have reportedly held talks with now-former Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate.Reports from Spain suggest he is poised to pen a four-year deal should Florentino Pérez secure re-election as president. Such a brief agreement has prompted surprise, but Iraola has previously outlined his reasoning for avoiding lengthier contracts."The only time I have signed for two years is at Bournemouth," he stated back in October.
"I don't want to continue at a club just because I have a contract. I want to continue because both sides are happy and they want to continue together."In a manager's case, the contracts are not as important as the player's case because at the end, you have to get the results."I can have whatever contract I have, but if I don't get results then in three or four months I will be done, whether it's Bournemouth or any club."I try to focus on the short-term, do your job, get your results and then normally everything is fine."In Spain it's probably different.
