Perhaps not even Dominik Szoboszlai thought how much chaos he would cause with a single sentence. The Hungarian world-class player was asked who the players could be that would have the biggest impact on the team's game in the 2026–27 season. He mentioned Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, and Alexis Mac Allister, but before saying the latter's name, he added, "if he returns."
Speculations around Alexis Mac Allister have started
The statement was also unfortunate because the Argentine player is reportedly dissatisfied with his role at Anfield and is considering leaving. Earlier, there was also talk that his agency had negotiated with Real Madrid, but both parties denied this international press news.
What is certain is that Mac Allister has a contract until 2028, and Andoni Iraola recently spoke about giving him an important role next season.
Alexis Mac Allister made headlines due to Dominik Szoboszlai's statement.
The situation is not clear.
According to Fichajes, Szoboszlai's sentence cannot be a simple slip of the tongue, and the Argentine world champion is indeed considering a change. Alexis Mac Allister's future will certainly depend on whether an appropriate offer arrives for him, and whether the new head coach really intends a key role for him.
No significant developments are expected in the coming days, but it is in the air that Alexis Mac Allister will not start the next season at Anfield.
