In response to the backlash, Carlos Mac Allister later clarified his remarks, stating that “Alexis is very happy at Liverpool.”
Now, Alexis himself has addressed the speculation, stating, “I read the rumours and the news reaches me, but the important thing is the present. As much as the club wants me, if I play poorly this weekend, they’ll lose interest.”
“I’m fine at Liverpool and I don’t have any need to leave,” he continued. “I have a lot of respect for the club, and I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about other institutions.”
Mac Allister attracted significant interest after impressing at the 2022 World Cup, but it was Jurgen Klopp’s influence that convinced him to move from Brighton to Merseyside. He’s continued to thrive under manager Arne Slot this season.
Regarding life in Liverpool, Mac Allister said, “I’m a bit remote, so some fans greet you with respect, but in the city they’re more passionate. The institution is like a family. It all comes down to one phrase: ‘You’ll never walk alone.'”
“The moment of the anthem is incredibly powerful. One of the most beautiful moments. The game doesn’t start until it finishes playing.”
