Alexis Mac Allister has claimed Liverpool informed him they are not planning on renewing his contract. Mac Allister has repeatedly insisted he wants to remain at Anfield, but his deal expires in the summer of 2028.
He has been one of Andoni Iraola's key men, contributing four goals (three of which coming in three Champions League matches) and one assist this season. Nevertheless, his long-term future at the club looks uncertain, as he has claimed the club are not looking to extend his current deal.
Mac Alluster has been with the club since the summer of 2023, when he arrived from Brighton and Hove Albion for around £45m. While he wants to continue starring for the Reds, he has claimed there has been no progress in regard to a new deal.

Speaking with Argentine journalist Gastón Edul at his home, Mac Allister said: "First of all, obviously, I feel that affection from the fans, and that’s something incredible for me. It’s not easy at a club like Liverpool to be appreciated the way I am.
"I enjoy it a lot, and obviously winning a Premier League title with this club is something very special, something the fans don’t forget. Obviously, we’re in a situation where I have a year and a half left on my contract.

"Last season I was told that the club’s idea was not to renew it, at least for now. And obviously, that was a painful, unpleasant situation.”

When asked if he is growing stressed or despondent with the saga, he added: "Not that much, because at the end of the day, I still had, and still have, time left at this club, which is what I want most – to stay here.
"The reality is that the manager has now changed, the sporting director has changed, and new investors are coming into the club.
"So I think I’m now in a position where anything can happen. We’ll see what happens in the future. I’ve always said that I’m very happy here, that I really enjoy it, and we’ll see.”
In March, Mac Allister's midfield colleague Ryan Gravenberch put pen to paper on a new contract, that will run until the summer of 2032. Fellow Reds midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai also signed a new long-term deal until 2031.
