In a surprising turn of events that has shaken the Liverpool fanbase, Alexis Mac Allister has officially announced his departure from Liverpool Football Club, and he’s not holding back. The World Cup-winning midfielder shared this shocking news in an emotional and controversial statement earlier today.
“I want to leave. I know this may come as a surprise to many, but I haven’t felt happy since Arne Slot joined the club. Leaving has been on my mind for a long time — and now is the right moment,” Mac Allister stated. “With Real Madrid interested in me, I will be departing… alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold.”
This announcement follows recent reports of Real Madrid’s interest in both players, but few expected Mac Allister—who quickly became a fan favorite after arriving from Brighton—to make such a bold public declaration. The 25-year-old, who was anticipated to play a significant role in Arne Slot’s midfield strategy, is now heading to Santiago Bernabéu in a deal rumored to be worth £70 million.
Fans are even more taken aback by the way he has chosen to leave. Social media has erupted with anger and heartbreak, with many Liverpool supporters labeling him the “most hated player in the club’s history.”
“How could he do this?” lamented one devastated fan on Twitter. “He was one of us — and now he’s walking away like this? Heartbroken .”
His departure, along with his critical comments about the new manager Arne Slot, has left a sour taste at Anfield. With Trent Alexander-Arnold also rumored to be making the move to Madrid, Liverpool faces a significant rebuild—potentially their biggest identity crisis in years.
Stay tuned for official statements from the club and reactions from the dressing room, but one thing is clear: Mac Allister’s time at Liverpool ends in controversy and heartbreak.
