Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is currently facing a legal dispute that has brought significant attention away from his footballing career. The 25-year-old Argentine international, a pivotal figure for both his club and the Argentina national team, is reportedly being sued by Mayan, a model and social media personality, over unresolved financial matters linked to their five-year relationship, according to *The Mirror*.
The legal action comes two years after the couple’s breakup, which allegedly occurred when Mac Allister ended their relationship to start one with Mayan’s friend, Ailén Cova, who is now his current partner.
During the international break, as Argentina prepared for a match against Paraguay, Mac Allister publicly addressed the situation. He confirmed that his relationship with Mayan had ended definitively and emphasized that the legal case is now being handled through the appropriate channels. Mac Allister acknowledged that Mayan is entitled to pursue legal action and stated that they had previously resolved their differences at the time of their separation.
“There was no more relationship. She took her path, I took mine, and that’s it,” Mac Allister explained when questioned. He further commented on the lawsuit, saying, “As for the other thing, everything is in court, where it should be, and we are waiting. At the time we discussed what we needed to discuss, but it was clearly her decision. Everything is fine, and she is within her rights.”
Amid these off-field issues, Mac Allister has continued to excel on the pitch for Liverpool. Since joining the Premier League side in June last year, he has been a crucial asset for the team. Signed on a five-year deal for an initial fee of £35 million, which could rise to £55 million with add-ons, the midfielder has delivered impressive performances, establishing himself as a key player.
In his debut season with the club, Mac Allister featured in 46 matches across all competitions, contributing seven goals and seven assists. His impact has been instrumental in Liverpool’s resurgence as they currently lead both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
Fans will undoubtedly hope that Mac Allister can maintain his focus on football despite the ongoing legal proceedings. With Liverpool chasing major honors this season, his form and consistency will be vital to the team’s success. The club will count on his ability to balance personal challenges and professional demands as they aim for domestic and European triumphs.
