Overview
- Mac Allister said there is “no firm decision” on his long-term future and confirmed he still has about two years left on his contract, comments first reported on Monday.
- He revealed earlier this month that Liverpool told his agent they were not in a position to offer fresh terms and that he felt “very sad” about the lack of negotiations.
- Under new manager Andoni Iraola Mac Allister has regained a regular starting role and scored in home wins over Atlético Madrid and Tottenham, strengthening his on-field case for a new deal.
- Liverpool recently renewed midfield team-mates Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai and have been linked to other midfield targets, a context that shapes the club’s decision on Mac Allister.
- Mac Allister’s presence in Argentina’s friendlies, including Lionel Messi’s farewell match, raises his profile and means the coming months will likely determine whether Liverpool extend him, sell him, or let his contract run down.
