'Spain is a country I like a lot' - Barcelona and Real Marid on high alert as Alexis Mac Allister hints at future Liverpool exit

Alexis Mac Allister has hinted his long-term future might not be with Liverpool as he has admitted that he would want to explore the opportunity to play in Spain one day, putting traditional LaLiga heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid on high alert. The Argentina international recently gave Spanish football fans a glimpse of what he's capable of when he scored Liverpool's opening goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League two weeks ago.

Mac Allister earned recognition at Brighton and Hove Albion, and earned a big-money move to Liverpool in 2023 following his commanding presences for Argentina from the middle of the park as the Albiceleste clinched the evasive World Cup trophy in 2022.

The Argentine international has become an increasingly pivotal figure under the management of Arne Slot, but the soon to-be 26-year-old's contract expires in June 2028. While Mac Allister is adamant that he is completely focused on Liverpool for the time being, he hasn't ruled out a move to LaLiga in the future.

When asked by AS if he would be open to a move to Spain, Mac Allister said: "Yes, why not? It's a country I like a lot and I've visited it several times, and, above all, because of the language and the culture, it's very similar to Argentina. I would definitely like to play in Spain one day. But right now, I'm very comfortable at Liverpool and I don't think about what might happen in the future."

Mac Allister and his Liverpool team-mates were not involved in footballing action over the weekend as the Merseyside derby against Everton was called off due to bad weather. Mac Allister will also miss the upcoming trip to Girona due to suspension, as the Reds aim to record another win in the Champions League when they take on the Catalans on Tuesday, December 10.
