Since his £35 million bargain arrival from Brighton in 2023, Alexis Mac Allister has transformed into Liverpool’s midfield linchpin, earning adoration from the Anfield faithful while attracting admiring glances from European giants.

The Argentine’s seamless adaptation to multiple roles and consistent excellence have made him indispensable to Arne Slot’s system.

Mac Allister’s influence is quantifiable through a matrix of elite metrics.

Over the past two Premier League campaigns, the 25-year-old has completed 86.6% of passes (1,704/1,967 in 2023-24) while averaging 6.80 progressive passes per 90 minutes—placing him in the 84th percentile among midfielders globally.

His defensive output is equally remarkable, with 3.22 tackles and 2.17 blocks per 90 ranking in the 92nd and 99th percentiles, respectively:

His 2023/24 campaign saw him directly contribute to 14 goals across all competitions (7 goals, 7 assists), including a Puskás-contending strike against Sheffield United that earned Liverpool’s Goal of the Season.

This term, Mac Allister has clocked an impressive 3,262 minutes across 44 appearances

During this time, the Argentine midfielder contributed six goals and four assists.

As a result of how well he’s been doing for the Reds, speculation about a £60 million move to Real Madrid surfaced following Toni Kroos’ retirement announcement.

At the time the rumours were quashed by Carlos Mac Allister, and the father has come out again to affirm that his son is 100% focused on Anfield – but did seem to suggest that could change in the future.

Speaking to Picado TV’s Fernando Niembro  (via Bolavip), Carlos was quizzed on whether his son is looking to leave Liverpool in the future:

“For now, I don’t think so

I think it’s been the best thing he’s done, and that’s why the adaptation was easier.”

Between 1986 and 1998, Carlos Mac Allister made 146 appearances for Boca Juniors and Racing Club as well as earning three Argentina caps in 1993
