Liverpool star entangled in scandal as lawsuit filed against him
Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is currently dealing with a legal matter that has attracted considerable attention off the field.
The 25-year-old Argentine, who plays a pivotal role for both Liverpool and the Argentina national team, is reportedly facing a lawsuit filed by his ex-partner, Mayan, over unresolved financial issues from their past relationship, as reported by *The Mirror*.
Mayan, a model and social media influencer, is seeking financial compensation for the five years they spent together.
The legal action follows their breakup two years ago, which was reportedly caused by Mac Allister leaving her 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 addressed the situation. He confirmed that their relationship had ended and stressed that the matter is now being handled through the appropriate legal channels.
The former Brighton midfielder acknowledged that pursuing legal action was Mayan’s decision, which she is entitled to, and clarified that their differences had been discussed at the time of their breakup. He reaffirmed his intention to resolve the issue through legal processes.
He said:
“There was no more relationship. She took her path, I took mine, and that’s it.”
“As for the lawsuit, it’s in court, where it should be, and we’re waiting. We discussed everything at the time, but it was clearly her decision. Everything is fine, and she is within her rights.”
Since joining Liverpool in June of last year, Alexis Mac Allister has been a standout performer. Signed for a reasonable £35 million, which could rise to £55 million with add-ons, the 25-year-old quickly established himself as a key figure in the team.
In his debut season, Mac Allister made 46 appearances in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists.
Currently, Liverpool sits at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables. Despite facing a legal challenge off the pitch, fans will be hoping Mac Allister can remain focused on his football. With the team vying for major trophies this season, his ongoing contributions will be vital to their success.
