Mac Allister ‘very sad’ over no new Liverpool deal

Alexis Mac Allister says he is very sad he hasn’t been offered a new contract at Liverpool, with the Champions League opener approaching. As reported by Sky Sports, the midfielder spoke at a pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid, and admitted there were options to leave in the summer.

The 27-year-old confirmed he still has two years left on his Reds deal, which he signed when joining the club in the summer of 2023. His frustration follows long-term renewals for fellow midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch earlier this year.

“Very, very sad”

Mac Allister explained that he was told Liverpool were not in a position to offer him a new contract. Sky Sports quotes him saying: “As everyone knows, I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract, which makes me very, very sad.” He also acknowledged that seeing Szoboszlai and Gravenberch renews makes him happy for them, but leaves him personally “a little bit sad” he didn’t get his own deal.

Still giving everything

Even with the disappointment, the Argentina international stressed he will keep giving his best to the end of his current agreement: “The fans don't need to worry because I will give my 100 per cent until the last day I'm here.” Sky Sports adds that there were “options to leave this summer”, and the situation now hinges on what happens next.

For now, the key point is clear: Mac Allister remains under contract, but his comments make it obvious the renewal conversation hasn’t exactly gone away.
