      Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister ‘being SUED for compensation by ex’ two years after he ‘dumped her for her friend’

      by

      ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER has spoken out about a lawsuit filed against him by his ex-girlfriend after he broke up with her days after he won the World Cup.The Liverpool star, 25, is being sued by his former partner, Camila Mayan.Alexis Mac Allister ended a five-year relationship with Camila Mayan after the World CupCredit: InstagramShe is suing the Liverpool star for a portion of earnings in the five years they were togetherCredit: RexMac Allister is now dating childhood friend Ailen CovaCredit: Instagram @ailencovaThe model, who dated the midfielder for five years, is demanding financial compensation from him for the years they lived abroad together.She has also accused him of keeping her belongings and being unfaithful with Ailén Cova, his current partner and a childhood friend.However, speaking from his car before Argentina’s clash with Paraguay he has now lifted the lid on the relationship.The Mirror report he said: “There was no more relationship. She took her path, I took mine, and that’s it. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”As for the other thing (the lawsuit), 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.”Mac Allister believes it was Mayan’s decision to publicise the fallout of their relationship, but refuted the claims of being unfaithful.He added: “I think it’s normal in a relationship; she made the decision to come out and make public things that she felt or that she believes happened, but I know how things went and that’s why I’m very calm.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe former Brighton star has revealed he and Cova are planning a future together, saying: “We are well, happy, building our life there in England, enjoying life together.”However, Mayan’s lawyer Ignacio Trimarco said earlier this year that his client did not want to publicise anything about their break-up and claimed it came from Mac Allister’s side.Ex-Liverpool star John Arne Riise shows what he is made of on the training pitch Speaking on ‘Intrusos’ (América TV) at the end of July, he said: “The mediation is closed, but there was no agreement. “The lawsuit has been filed for some time and the case started more than a year and a half ago.”From our side nothing was said; it became known from the other side because Camila does not want to publicise this situation. “What she asks for is confidential like any family case, but it is financial compensation.”In this case [the amount requested by Mayan] will be determined by a judge based on the evidence presented.”The figure is calculated as a percentage of the income earned by the former Brighton star during the years he was with Mayan.Trimarco added: “There is controversy with this law, but it is a law that has been passed by Congress and applies to all couples, whether they are with an idol like a world champion, or a businessman with business outside the country.”This law has to do with protecting the weakest part of a couple that has not formalised a marriage. “It is a law that applies and is in force and applies to anyone who has lived together for more than two years in a public, notorious and peaceful manner. “Moreover, the claim has to be initiated within six months of the end of the relationship.”Mac’s mum speaks outMac Allister’s mother, Silvina Riela, added: “We are handling it in the best way. We have answered the lawsuit and everything is on track. Everything is on track as it should be in the courts, as she herself said.”We are calm because we always deal with the truth and we believe in justice. Besides, we know that the laws are set up so that this progresses in a good way.”Asked about the media coverage of the case, she added: “It’s part of the game. “They are exposed and it’s part of what you have to face or deal with. That’s all. “We have people who are with us, professionals, so we think it’s going to go the best way.”READ MORE SUN STORIESMayan is an influencer who boasts more than 1.6 million followers across TikTok and Instagram.Mac Allister has played 17 games for Liverpool under Arne Slot this season, scoring one goal.

Lulu. Wait until @laurawoodsy sees this.READ MORE ON LAURA WOODS”Pregnancy training!.. The gym can be bloody scary, but times that by 10 if you’re pregnant!”Now, I’m super proud of this girl for getting amongst it and still doing some moving a few times per week with me. “But, most of you lot probably don’t have a fella with two gyms to choose from (lucky her).”Reacting under the video, Woods said: “Just me, fighting for my life.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSCollard shared his top three tips for those looking to keep fit while pregnant. He said: “One) Start Slow and be cautious of over exertion. Laura Woods and Love Island boyfriend Adam Collard announce they are expecting a baby in adorable post”Ask yourself a question of how hard am I working? “Perhaps use an RPE (Effort) scale of no more than 8/10 effort on all things whether it be your weights or your cardio output.”Two) Get a Plan from a professional.”Some exercises are out of bounds during pregnancy, or at least become that after 2nd and 3rd trimester. “So do your homework, or get a professional to create you a programme or take you through a few sessions.”Three) Don’t beat yourself up.How Laura Woods tamed Love Island bad boy Adam CollardHE was one of Love Island’s most notorious bad boys – but one woman seems to have changed all that.Personal trainer Adam Collard, 28, has been dating Euro 2024 presenter Laura Woods, 36, since 2023.The former loverat has called her “The One,” spent Christmas with her – the first time he’s done so with a girlfriend since he was 21 – and kept their relationship relatively out of the limelight, seemingly on Laura’s wishes.It’s a far cry from the man who admits himself he’s been “ruthless” in the past, claims to have had 25 girlfriends, and spent many years partying and juggling flings with girls including Zara McDermott and Lottie Moss.Relationship expert Jo Hemmings says: “He’s now 28, he’s a professional with a job, and I think he just went off the whole idea of ever realistically meeting somebody on a TV show.“He’s now met somebody who is also a professional, and is only on TV as a byproduct of what she does in sport.“He’s got himself in a comfortable place. Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself. But look who’s laughing now.“He’s got a fabulous girlfriend, they’re in a long term relationship, he’s well off, he’s still in the public eye, and he’s getting on with his life in the way that I think he always wanted.”Read the full article here”Some days may be 10 minutes, some days may be an hour. Some you may want to hit the gym, some days you may want to stretch at home or walk. “Listen to your body, and the little one inside you. “They have a good way of telling you when to move, and when to rest.”Any movement is a win, I’d say 2-3 short, lower intensity sessions than pre-pregnancy is always a good routine for most (but this does differ in each individual based on your pre-pregnancy fitness levels).”Woods managed to keep her pregnancy a secret throughout the entirety of Euro 2024, before making the announcement before she jetted to Paris to cover the Olympics.And in even more exciting news, Woods and Collard announced they were engaged in September.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe happy couple started dating last year and the reality TV personality got down on one knee on the beach in Cornwall to pop the big question.Woods then showed off her dazzling ring on live TV while presenting TNT’s Champions League coverage.Woods said she was ‘fighting’ for her life during the workoutCredit: Instagram @adamcollardShe was also seen lifting weightsCredit: Instagram @adamcollardWoods showed off her baby bumpCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyEx-Love Island star Collard and Woods announced they were engaged in SeptemberCredit: Instagram More

      Five potential new careers for Gary Lineker after quitting MOTD including politics and celebrity chef

      by

      GARY LINEKER’S decision to quit Match of the Day has sent speculation soaring over his next career move.The BBC’s best-paid presenter, 63, has fronted British football’s most famous highlights show for 25 years.Gary Lineker is looking for something new after MOTDCredit: BBCLineker’s rising interest in cooking included becoming ‘ Chef Gaz’ for fellow presenter Piers MorganCredit: Instagram/piersmorganLineker will step down as Match of the Day presenter at the end of the campaign, although he will front the BBC’s FA Cup coverage next season before hosting at the World Cup and then stepping down.He will take a pay cut and could focus on his interests outside of the BBC, namely his Goalhanger podcasting business which is proving to be a hit.A BBC source told The Sun: “Gary absolutely adores Match of the Day, and has been incredibly happy at the BBC.“He wants to leave on a high – and if England win the World Cup, it doesn’t get much higher.READ MORE TOP FOOTBALL“It’s one of the industry’s worst kept secrets that the new BBC Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski and Gary aren’t exactly close. The former is very keen to make his mark by bringing in new faces, and slashing wage bills.“Gary is incredibly popular with both players and viewers, and news of his departure will send shockwaves around the Corporation. In other words, no-one is immune from change.“Gary will be 65 when he leaves; frankly, he isn’t getting younger and just feels the time is right to focus solely on his mogul interests outside the BBC – namely his Goalhanger podcasting business which is becoming huge Stateside.”However there are plenty of possible options for the England legend to pursue as his wry, relaxed manner has won millions of admirers.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSBut his willingness to speak out on controversial matters in recent years has divided opinion.All that, however, only makes Lineker even more marketable – in broadcasting and beyond.Gary Lineker reveals how his views on Match of the Day can sometimes get him into trouble The former Barcelona striker has also hinted at new interests, such as cooking.So what’s the £1.35million-a-year broadcaster got next in his pot?  Here we look at four potential options – with offers sure to flood in.POLITICSLineker has insisted he speaks out on “humanitarian issues” rather than making party-political comments. But he frequently irked the previous Conservative Government with several cutting social media posts.And he might appreciate the freedom to have a voice completely free from BBC guidelines for presenters.Lineker has often stirred national debate, most notably in March 2023 with comments on the UK’s asylum policy – a row which even forced a re-think of Beeb rules.He was briefly taken off air at the time, with fellow BBC commentators backing him by refusing to work.The corporation insist Lineker is “free to contribute to projects for third parties, as long as these do not conflict with his BBC commitments”.But with the ex-Tottenham ace determined to use his large following “as a power for good,” is he ready to become a new type of frontman?CELEBRITY CHEFLineker has emerged as a kitchen connoisseur – after telling the Beeb in the spring he “only started cooking about eight years ago”.Lineker could put his feet up, but will he become a TV cook?Credit: Instagram/piersmorgan“Gambas al ajillo” – Spanish garlic shrimp, to you and me – is his speciality.Such is his devotion to learning, he even cooked “three or four meals a day” during the Covid lockdown “not to eat but to practise”.Piers Morgan labelled Lineker “Chef Gaz” after the MOTD star served what the celebrity Arsenal fan called a “quite delicious feast” in front of the cameras.And don’t forget the 48-goal ex-Three Lions’ marksman has a far better footballing pedigree than Britain’s best-known TV chef – Gordon Ramsay!The Scot briefly trialled for his dream club Rangers aged 15 – but a serious knee injury ruined his playing hopes.JOINING A RIVAL BROADCASTERRecruiting Lineker would certainly be a coup for ANY Beeb rival.The Daily Mail even claimed he approached ITV at one stage over the past two years to assess if they were interested in him.But there’s been little talk of a move from fellow broadcasters like Sky Sports or TNT Sports.And Lineker, whose MOTD contract expires at the end of the season, has regularly stated his strong backing for the BBC.HOSTING OWN TALKSHOWLineker appears to love the laidback style of The Rest is Football podcast – alongside MOTD team-mates Alan Shearer and Micah Richards.Lineker clearly enjoys his podcast with Alan Shearer and Micah RichardsCredit: YouTube/ The Rest Is FootballAnd his willingness to dip his oar into many issues means he’d be in demand for all sorts of shows.He also did longer, more in-depth interviews in front of cameras for the Beeb’s “Gary Lineker Meets” series.But the ex-Leicester City hero has so far not expressed much keenness to branch out into a wider talkshow format.REALITY STARTV bosses would lap up the chance to sign top-target Lineker to just about any show.The renowned presenter has previously been tipped to sign-up for BBC flagship show Strictly Come Dancing.When previously asked by judge Shirley Ballas on Sport Relief if he was keen, Lineker said: “Sorry, I’ve got a Saturday job.”But with his Saturday night’s now free for the first time in 25 years, Lineker is finally free to sign up.READ MORE SUN STORIESOr he could be offered to front up another show away from sport.He previously hosted ITV quiz show Sitting on a Fortune from 2021-2023.Lineker could be getting top marks on a new Saturday evening showCredit: BBC More

      JUDE BELLINGHAM went on an X-rated rant on social media after ending a six-month goal drought.Bellingham, 21, netted in Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Osasuna, with his first-half strike seeing him lob the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.Jude Bellingham launched into an X-rated rant after ending his Real Madrid goal droughtCredit: GettyThe midfielder had already assisted Vinicius Jr. before the Brazilian went on to score a hat-trick.The emphatic win ended a nightmare week for the Spanish giants on a high following the humiliating 4-0 defeat to Barcelona during El Clasico and 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League.Bellingham had reacted angrily by kicking a water bottle when he was substituted in the 74th minute of the latter.But after getting his goalscoring tally for the season underway, Bellingham posted a defiant message on Instagram, slipping in some X-rated language in the process.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe former Borussia Dortmund and Birmingham star said: “Even in s*** times, giving up is not an option. “Madridistas, thank you for your incredible support in the good moments and the bad ones.”While Bellingham has taken 14 games to get up and running this season, by contrast he scored 23 goals in his debut season.His goalless period has coincided with the arrival of superstar Kylian Mbappe.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSSpeaking on CBS Sports, Thierry Henry explained how he thought Bellingham was doing too much trying to support frontman Vinicius and Mbappe.Henry said: “It’s always Bellingham trying to make the run, trying to make the team play, running in behind, trying to break the line.How to cure England’s Bellingham, Foden and Palmer headache”I think there is a little frustration. Your nine isn’t going, and your 10 is going. I know it can happen sometimes, but not all the time. Every single time.”I know he (Mbappe) is not a [natural] number nine and that this maybe is not what he likes to do.”Do you think he (Bellingham) likes to make those runs, try and stretch the team? He’ll do it because he has to do it, because his desire speaks, his will speaks.”You don’t win games like that. You don’t win games with your 10 breaking the line, coming back, trying to bend his run, trying to defend, trying to go the other side.”On his angry reaction to his substitution, he added: “I would have been upset too. I saw him kicking a bottle. I would be upset also, of course.”His return to goalscoring ways on the pitch comes after Bellingham seemed to drop a hint about his relationship status off of it.Bellingham was seen liking Instagram posts of model Laura Celia Valk.The Sun exclusively revealed in April that the pair had begun dating.In the summer, Bellingham faced claims that the relationship was a “publicity stunt” – with the pair having not been seen together in public.But the midfielder does follow Laura on Instagram.Earlier this week, Laura posted a photodump, which included a snap of herself in a pink corseted dress.READ MORE SUN STORIESSpotting Bellingham’s like, one fan commented: “Hey Jude Bellingham.”While a second added: “Jude liked it”.Bellingham has been seen liking the posts of model Laura Celia Valk, who he was rumoured to be dating earlier this yearCredit: Instagram / @lauraceliav More
