Overview
- Reports this week from multiple outlets say Liverpool have not opened fresh contract talks with Alexis Mac Allister and that Real Madrid and other top clubs are monitoring his situation ahead of the 2027 summer window.
- Mac Allister has said there is “no final decision set in stone” about his future, and his agent and father Carlos Mac Allister denied any approach from Real Madrid while confirming Liverpool had not contacted the family about a renewal.
- His current deal runs until June 2028, which gives Liverpool short-term control but would leave them in a weaker negotiating position if he reaches the final 12 months in summer 2027.
- Improved form for club and country — including a recent Champions League goal and an assist for Argentina that drew praise from local media — has increased his market value and interest from suitors.
- Liverpool face three clear options — reopen talks, sell next summer for a reported £70–80m to reinvest, or retain him and accept reduced transfer leverage — and have been linked with midfield targets such as Alex Scott and Lamine Camara as possible replacements.
