Alexis Mac Allister could soon be weighing up a move from Liverpool in the summer of 2027 if he doesn’t receive a new contract offer within the next few months. Reported by the renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine midfielder expected an extension and wants to feel significant to the club.
Currently, the 27-year-old's contract runs until June 2028. Ahead of a Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, Mac Allister expressed delight at the contract renewals for Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, but voiced frustration at the absence of a similar offer for himself.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Mac Allister's comments reflect a genuine concern:
Mac Allister expected the same treatment and a new contract offer from Liverpool. He hasn't received one.
Romano also mentioned that there were opportunities for the midfielder to switch clubs last summer. Particularly, when the future of Enzo Fernandez was uncertain, intermediaries were offering Mac Allister to Manchester City. However, the midfielder opted to remain at Anfield.
Romano added:
If a new contract isn't agreed upon soon, I wouldn't rule out Alexis Mac Allister leaving in 2027. It’s likely to be the summer. Alexis wants to feel important.
The spotlight was on the moment Mac Allister brought up the contract issue publicly. Alan Shearer questioned why the player chose to air his concerns, while Micah Richards pondered the timing of his comments—just before the match against Atletico.
Richards suggested that Mac Allister was well aware that many Spanish journalists would be present at the press conference. When asked by Gary Lineker if this was a signal to potential Spanish clubs, Richards replied:
One hundred percent.
Despite expressing his commitment to Liverpool and turning down opportunities to leave in the summer, Mac Allister's future now hinges on whether the club will present him with a new contract.
