Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has officially sent a heartfelt farewell message to fans and teammates as he prepares to leave Anfield for a blockbuster move to Real Madrid, where he is expected to become a key figure in Xabi Alonso’s new tactical project.

According to MARCA, Mac Allister has emerged as a top priority for incoming Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, who views the Argentine as the ideal midfielder to anchor his system — praised for his technical brilliance, vision, and tactical intelligence. The Spanish giants are reportedly ready to offer a lucrative deal, possibly including rising star Arda Güler, to convince Liverpool to part ways with the 25-year-old.

Despite being under contract with the Reds until the summer of 2028 and valued at €90 million by Transfermarkt, Mac Allister is now set to join Los Blancos as part of Alonso’s revolution at the Bernabéu.

In a message posted on his social media, Mac Allister wrote: “To Liverpool, this club gave me everything in such a short time — belief, passion, and unforgettable memories. But football is also about timing, and I believe it’s time for a new challenge. I want to thank the fans, my teammates, and the staff for making me feel like family. I will always carry Anfield in my heart.”

The Argentine joined Liverpool in 2023 and quickly became an integral part of their midfield, helping the club to Premier League success in Arne Slot’s first season. His departure marks the end of a short but impactful spell at the club.

For Real Madrid, Mac Allister is seen as a long-term successor in midfield and a perfect fit for Alonso’s strategic vision. The Spaniard is known to admire Mac Allister’s versatility and ability to dictate the rhythm of play — qualities that will be crucial as Madrid seeks to refresh its aging core.

As fans brace for the official unveiling, the Mac Allister transfer may very well be remembered as one of the most significant midfield moves of the summer window.
