Not even Salah, Mac Allister and the unexpected reason he grabbed the number 10 shirt at Liverpool

Alexis Mac Allister is already at Liverpool. The Anfield club confirmed his arrival in exchange for 40 million euros from Brighton and he joins under the orders of Jurgen Klopp with immediate effect. The Argentine midfielder comes from closing an important season with his club and also from winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.

Given this situation, the Argentine player has established himself in a great way in his arrival at the English club, where he has even been given the dorsal 10 on his first day at the club. This decision has caused various sensations in the Reds fans, but now, the player reveals the real reason behind his decision to take that number.

Liverpool buy Mac Allister because of the need to add reinforcements in midfield. After the departure of James Milner, Naby Keita and the underperformance of key players like Fabinho, the club wants fresh legs, a player like Alexis can provide the tempo and vision needed to boost the midfield.

On his arrival, Mac Allister confessed that it is a dream and that one of the main reasons he decided to come to Anfield is because of his desire to win titles in his professional career, and that he has always followed the club since he was a child and knows the prestige it has.

Why did Mac Allister take the number 10 shirt?

According to the Argentinean player, choosing the number 10 jersey has no meaning whatsoever. The player confessed that it is an important number in soccer. "I had the opportunity to wear the 8 of the great Steven Gerrard, but I ended up opting for number 10. All because I have worn it for most of my career."
