Alexis Mac Allister, a key midfielder for Liverpool, expressed disappointment after the club did not offer him a new contract, even though he is entering the final two years of his current deal. The 27-year-old Argentine joined Liverpool from Brighton in June 2023 on a five-year contract. During the summer transfer window, he had "options" to leave, with Atletico Madrid reportedly among the clubs interested in signing him. Mac Allister said he was "very, very sad" to learn that Liverpool could not offer him a new deal. He stressed that he gives his full effort in every training session and match, even if his performances sometimes vary. He acknowledged the emotional impact of seeing teammates like Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch receive contract extensions, noting he is happy for them but also felt a sense of loss that he did not receive the same opportunity. Liverpool invested over £200 million in new signings this summer, including players like Bradley Barcola, Jeremy Jacquet, and Victor Munoz, while also giving Szoboszlai a new five-year contract. Mac Allister mentioned that he had no direct discussions with the club about his future, only receiving information through his agent. Despite this, he affirmed his deep love for Liverpool, its fans, and the city, and stated he has always valued his place at the club. Mac Allister pledged to give his best effort until his final day at the club, hoping that his performances might change the club's decision. He also mentioned that while there was a chance to leave during the summer, he believes he is currently in the right environment to continue giving his best. Manager Andoni Iraola, who took charge after the departure of Arne Slot, confirmed that Mac Allister wants to stay and that there is still time to discuss contract matters.
