Alexis Mac Allister has admitted that Liverpool’s decision not to offer him a new contract left him “very, very sad.” The Argentina international said the club informed him during the summer that it was not in a position to extend his deal.
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.
The decision came as teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch signed new contracts. Mac Allister said he was happy for both players, but their renewals also sharpened his own disappointment. He joined Liverpool from Brighton in 2023 and has two years remaining on his current agreement.
“Everyone can see that I give my 100% for this football club every single day in training and games,” Mac Allister said. He insisted that the contract situation had not changed his commitment and told supporters he would continue to give everything until his final day at the club.
Everyone can see that I give my 100% for this football club every single day in training and games.
“The fans don’t need to worry because I will give my 100% until the last day I am here,” he said. Mac Allister also expressed his affection for Liverpool and the city, saying he loved the club and its fans.
The fans don’t need to worry because I will give my 100% until the last day I am here.
Manager Andoni Iraola, speaking alongside the midfielder ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, said Mac Allister remains an important player. “The important thing is he wants to be here,” Iraola said, adding that “there is still a lot of time to talk about those contract situations.”
