The 25-year-old, who is valued at £60 million, was rumored to be a transfer target for Real Madrid. However, Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool at the beginning of the season and quickly became a vital part of the squad, has indicated his intention to remain with the club beyond the current season.
Having already lost Thiago Alcantara this summer, Liverpool would be hard-pressed to replace another top midfielder. Mac Allister’s decision to stay is a relief for the club, especially since he’s proved to be one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders.
Although he has a release clause in his contract, Mac Allister is not looking for an exit after only one season, which saw him contribute significantly to Liverpool’s Carabao Cup victory.
Liverpool can look forward to Mac Allister’s continued influence as they aim for more success in the league and Europe.
While it’s clear that a club of Real Madrid’s stature, seeking replacements for aging stars like Luka Modrić and the retiring Toni Kroos, would find Mac Allister an attractive prospect, Liverpool will be looking to keep hold of their star midfielder for the foreseeable future.
