Liverpool are not in any rush to offer Alexis Mac Allister a new contract, according to Dominic King in The Telegraph. The Argentine midfielder has two years left on his current deal and has been in excellent form this season, scoring twice in the 4-3 win over Villarreal on Tuesday and already just one goal short of his entire tally from 2025/26.
King described Mac Allister as the catalyst in that comeback and the lynchpin of Iraola’s midfield, but wrote that the club are not hurrying into fresh talks. That stance could change, King added, if he continues performing at this level.
Mac Allister made his feelings known in September, saying he was disappointed not to have been offered an extension in the summer while fellow 2023 signings Szoboszlai and Gravenberch were handed new deals. The midfielder is 27 and will be 29 when his contract expires in summer 2028, which may explain Liverpool’s caution: the club are often slow to commit long-term to players in or nearing their 30s. Once he enters the final 18 months of his deal in early 2027, the balance of power could shift and talks may become more urgent.
