Alexis Mac Allister has spoken openly about his Liverpool future on the eve of the Champions League meeting with Atlético Madrid. At the September 8 press conference, the midfielder said the club had informed him it was not currently in a position to offer a new contract.\n\nReuters reports that the 27-year-old has two years remaining on his existing deal. He described the news as deeply disappointing, particularly after Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch signed extensions earlier this year. Liverpool have not publicly announced a fresh offer or active renewal talks with Mac Allister.\n\nThe Argentina international also acknowledged that he had options to leave during the summer. However, the arrival of head coach Andoni Iraola influenced his decision to stay: Mac Allister said he saw “something special” in pre-season and now considers Liverpool the right club for him.\n\nIn Liverpool FC's official coverage of the same press conference, the midfielder stressed his belief in the squad, his desire to win trophies and his willingness to give everything for the club. His comments do not amount to a transfer request, and there is no agreement with another club. His future remains open while his existing contract continues.\n\nSTATUS: OFFICIAL — the comments were made publicly by Mac Allister. Liverpool have not confirmed a new deal, renewal negotiations or a transfer.\n\nSOURCES: Reuters, 8 September 2026 — https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/liverpools-mac-allister-very-sad-not-receive-new-contract-offer-2026-09-08/ | Liverpool FC, 8 September 2026 — https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/alexis-mac-allister-we-have-right-players-and-right-mentality-do-great-things
