Alexis Mac Allister says he is “very, very sad” that Liverpool has not offered him a new contract, even though he remains committed to the club and had options to leave during the summer.

The Argentina midfielder joined Liverpool from Brighton on a five-year contract in June 2023. His teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch have extended their deals this year, making the absence of a new offer more noticeable for Mac Allister.

I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract which, of course, makes me very, very sad.

· Alexis Mac AllisterHe described his reaction to Liverpool’s decision before the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.

“I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract which, of course, makes me very, very sad,” he said before Liverpool’s Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. He insisted that he gives everything in training and matches, regardless of whether his performances are good or bad.

The fans don't need to worry because I will give my 100% until the last day I am here.

· Alexis Mac AllisterHe reassured Liverpool supporters that he would remain fully committed to the club.

Mac Allister said he had not spoken directly with Liverpool about the decision. He pointed to the Premier League title the team won together and the difficult periods they had shared, while saying he believed he was currently at the right club. He also said he loved Liverpool, its supporters and the city.

He was a key member of Liverpool’s title-winning side in 2024-25, but described the following season as poor for both himself and the team. Liverpool finished fifth and dismissed manager Arne Slot. After initially using Mac Allister as a substitute in the league opener against Newcastle United, new manager Andoni Iraola started him in the next two matches.

I love this club. I love the fans. I know very well this is an amazing club and this city has something very special. I love being here.

· Alexis Mac AllisterHe reaffirmed his attachment to Liverpool despite the unresolved contract situation.

Iraola said the important point was that Mac Allister wanted to remain at Liverpool. “There is still a lot of time to talk about those contract situations,” he said.

There is still a lot of time to talk about those contract situations.

· Andoni IraolaThe manager said the contract issue could still be discussed.
