Mac Allister stays at Liverpool despite interest from giants

Alexis Mac Allister has made it clear that he will not be leaving Liverpool this summer. His father, Carlos Mac Allister, dismissed rumors of a departure in an interview with WinWin. "Alexis is not thinking about leaving Liverpool. He wants to stay at the club," he stated, echoing comments reported by Fabrizio Romano. The 27-year-old midfielder, an Argentine international, remains fully committed to Andoni Iraola’s project at Anfield.

A green light for the Reds despite the lack of a contract

Liverpool has not yet entered into discussions to extend Mac Allister’s contract, but the player has shown a clear desire to continue. His father confirmed that "the player’s wish is to stay at Liverpool, even without a current agreement." This stance comes at an opportune time for the Reds, as several European clubs have set their sights on the Argentine midfielder this summer. Manchester City and Real Madrid have notably kept a close eye on his situation, according to reports from This Is Anfield. Despite these approaches, Liverpool has so far resisted all advances. TEAMtalk reveals that Mac Allister and his entourage have already rejected offers from several clubs, with the player keen to remain at Anfield. This determination could well ease future contract negotiations.

A key profile despite a mixed season

Mac Allister had a contrasting 2025-26 season, marked by inconsistent performances. Yet his technical qualities remain undeniable: he knows how to dictate play, perform under pressure, and occupy multiple midfield positions. His versatile profile makes him a major asset for Liverpool, even as his contract nears expiration in the coming months. For the Reds, the urgency now is to initiate discussions for an extension. Allowing uncertainty over his future would only fuel rival interest. If Iraola sees him as a central figure in his team, the club would be wise to secure his future without delay. A swift signature would help avoid speculation and preserve his long-term value. As Liverpool searches for a successor to Mohamed Salah, as suggested by a recent bid for a 28-year-old striker, Mac Allister represents a key piece in the Reds’ lineup. His desire to stay gives the club a significant advantage in negotiating a new collaboration calmly.
