Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is facing a legal situation that has attracted significant attention off the pitch.
The 25-year-old Argentina international, who plays a key role for both Liverpool and the Argentina national team, is reportedly facing a lawsuit brought by Mayan over unresolved financial issues from their past relationship. The Mirror.
Mayan, a model and social media influencer, has requested financial compensation related to the five years they spent together.
The legal action comes two years after their split, which was reportedly sparked by McAllister leaving Mayan for her friend, Ailén Cova, who is now his current girlfriend.
Ahead of Argentina’s match against Paraguay during the ongoing international break, Mac Allister spoke about the current situation. He acknowledged that their relationship has reached a clear conclusion and stressed that the case is now being addressed through the appropriate legal channels.
The former Brighton midfielder said the option to take legal action was hers, which she is entitled to, and noted that their differences had been discussed at the time of their break-up. He reiterated his commitment to handle the matter through the judicial process.
He said:
“There was no more relationship. She took her way, I took mine, and that’s it.”
“As for the other thing (the lawsuit), everything is in court, where it should be, and we are waiting. Then we talked about what we needed to talk about, but it was clearly his decision. Everything is fine, and she is within her rights.”
