Alexis Mac Allister’s quick hair fix sparks laughs at Liverpool
After finishing as runner‑up at the World Cup and enjoying a family holiday, Alexis Mac Allister returned to England to re‑join Liverpool for the new season, where his dramatically altered haircut immediately caught the attention of his teammates.
Hair transplant after the World Cup
Two weeks after playing in the World Cup final, the Argentine midfielder underwent a hair‑implant procedure at a specialised clinic in Buenos Aires. The operation was performed by doctors Mariano Calero and Bruno Szyferman. Calero explained, “The confidence of an elite athlete reflects the commitment, experience and dedication we work with every day.”
Mac Allister later described the change himself, saying, “I was a bald guy with hair, now I’m a bald guy with a bald head. I said I did it for my dad, but it’s really for my daughter.” The comment was made during a conversation with AFA Studio after a friendly at La Bombonera.

On Instagram the player posted a series of photos joking, “Back to training. The implant worked fast, we’re the same, Dominik Szoboszlai,” while also sharing an AI‑generated image that gave him the haircut of the Hungarian star of Anfield. The post highlighted the light‑hearted atmosphere surrounding his return.
During his first day back, Mac Allister embraced Dominik Szoboszlai, who shares his midfield position, and also greeted Swedish forward Alexander Isak. Dressed in casual Liverpool apparel, he later sat down for breakfast with Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker in the club’s dining hall.
