Alexis Mac Allister expresses sadness over lack of new contract at Liverpool

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has expressed his disappointment at not being offered a new contract, stating he is 'very sad' about the situation. The 27-year-old, who joined the club in the summer of 2023, confirmed he has two years remaining on his current deal. His comments come after teammates Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch secured new long-term contracts earlier this year, which has added to his feelings of sadness.

Speaking at a pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool's Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid, Mac Allister acknowledged that he had options to leave the club during the summer transfer window. He emphasised his commitment to Liverpool, stating he gives his all in training and matches. Despite his disappointment, he reassured fans that he would continue to perform at his best until the end of his contract.

Mac Allister revealed that he had not been directly informed about the club's decision regarding his contract, as communication was handled through his agent. He noted that while he is happy for his teammates who received new deals, he feels left out and is uncertain about the reasons behind the club's stance. He remains hopeful that his performances this season could lead to a change in the club's decision.

The midfielder has started in Liverpool's last two league matches and praised new manager Andoni Iraola, stating he sees potential for success under his guidance. Iraola has acknowledged Mac Allister's importance to the team and indicated that there is still time to discuss contract matters. Mac Allister expressed his love for the club and the city, reinforcing his commitment to Liverpool despite the current uncertainty surrounding his future.
