Liverpool receive concerning update from Mac Allister's father over new contract
The father of Alexis Mac Allister has admitted that his son could leave Liverpool and believes there are only ‘six or seven’ teams in the world who could sign the midfielder.
Mac Allister’s contract at Anfield ends in 2028 and the 27-year-old has previously admitted his disappointment at not being handed a new deal after seeing various teammates being given extensions.
Real Madrid are among the teams believed to be monitoring Mac Allister’s situation and his father is optimistic that talks will soon open with Liverpool over a new deal, although he is calm even if an exit is on the horizon.
"There are still 20 months left on his contract; the sporting director has changed, and so has the coach. The situation is still under review, and there may be news before the end of the year," Carlos Mac Allister told ESPN.
"We haven't started renewal talks yet; if everything goes well, he'll renew, and if not, that's fine -- he'll go his own way like so many others.
"He has a ton of records and achievements that will ensure his career takes him to top-tier destinations. When you play for Liverpool and aim to maintain the same level of play, you know there are only six or seven teams in the world where you could play."
Alexis Mac Allister: Liverpool deserve ‘respect’ over midfielder despite contract impasse
Mac Allister has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club from Brighton in 2023 and the Argentine international has been an ever-present in the Premier League under Andoni Iraola this season.
Despite interest from teams during the summer, Mac Allister opted to remain with the Merseysiders and the midfielder is still hopeful over a new deal, with his father insisting that ‘respect’ would be afforded to Liverpool no matter what happens.
"Today, we're only talking about and focusing on Liverpool. It's a matter of respect that the club deserves and that Liverpool fans deserve. You can't be at one club talking about others," Carlos said.
"When you're at a club, you have to show the respect and give the importance that the club deserves. Today we're talking about Liverpool, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world, but no matter what club it is, you can't disrespect the one that signed you, took an interest in you, and made a very significant financial investment.
"We always talk about Liverpool, about the passion of representing the club, we talk about the dream of winning championships, and that's all."
