Liverpool yet to open new contract talks with Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool's 27-year-old midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has yet to open talks with the club over a new contract.

The Argentina international's father, Carlos Mac Allister, said in an interview with ESPN that his son has no concerns over his future.

Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool from Brighton in 2023, has contributed 24 goals and 21 assists in 166 appearances for the club.

The Argentine midfielder, who played a key role in the Premier League title Liverpool won under Arne Slot in the 2024-25 season, will soon enter the final 18 months of his contract. His father, Carlos Mac Allister, said that no talks over a new deal have taken place yet.

Assessing the situation, his father said: "There are still 20 months left on his contract; the sporting director has changed, and so has the coach. The situation is still under review, and there may be news before the end of the year."

Carlos Mac Allister went on: "We haven't started renewal talks yet; if everything goes well, he'll renew, and if not, that's fine, he'll go his own way like so many others. He's a young player who won the Copa América and the World Cup, was runner-up in the last World Cup, and was the Argentine player who ran the most during the tournament. He has a ton of records and achievements that will ensure his career takes him to top-tier destinations. When you play for Liverpool and aim to maintain the same level of play, you know there are only six or seven teams in the world where you could play."

Even so, his father stressed that today they are focused solely on Liverpool.

Carlos Mac Allister said: "Today, we're only talking about and focusing on Liverpool. It's a matter of respect that the club deserves and that Liverpool fans deserve. You can't be at one club talking about others."

Touching on the importance of respect for the club, Carlos Mac Allister said: "When you're at a club, you have to show the respect and give the importance that the club deserves. Today we're talking about Liverpool, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world, but no matter what club it is, you can't disrespect the one that signed you, took an interest in you, and made a very significant financial investment."

His father concluded: "We always talk about Liverpool, about the passion of representing the club, we talk about the dream of winning championships, and that's all."
