Alexis Mac Allister has offered a guarded but revealing update on his Liverpool future, suggesting that the club\u2019s recent structural changes could yet shape what happens next. The midfielder admitted earlier that he was \u201cvery, very sad\u201d not to be offered a new contract, but now says the picture has shifted since a new leadership team arrived at Anfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot much to be honest, the situation didn\u2019t change,\u201d Mac Allister told Sky Sports, smiling when asked about his contract situation. \u201cBut there\u2019s a new sporting director, there\u2019s a new ownership coming into the club, so everything can happen and we will see.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it\u2019s this season or next season we will see what happens. But right now I\u2019m just enjoying my football, enjoying playing for this amazing club that is one of the best in the world. And we will see, we will see in the future what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mac Allister\u2019s deal runs until the summer of 2028, and after a difficult 2025\u201326 campaign for both player and club, Liverpool were not expected to rush into extension talks. Yet the 2022 World Cup champion has started 2026\u201327 in far stronger form, looking more like the influential figure who helped drive Liverpool to the 2024\u201325 Premier League title.<\/p>\n
He credited the current setup for restoring his rhythm. \u201cI feel like we are all connected, more compact\u201d Mac Allister said. \u201cAnd as I said before, we all know what we have to do. That makes my job much easier, for sure. And when I do well I always speak about my teammates; I think they make my life easier and without them, I would be nothing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI only try to speak to them quite a lot, I think it\u2019s important to have the communication. And then on the ball we have a lot of freedom, so I try to do what I like that is having the ball, having the possession, sometimes being direct. There is a lot of things that I think improved my game this season after a really difficult season that we had, but we are all in a very good position right now and hopefully we can keep showing it on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Argentine has become a regular in midfield over the past month and has five goals already, one short of last season\u2019s total. Manager Andoni Iraola was similarly upbeat about the situation, saying: \u201cThe most important thing from that is that he wants to stay here,\u201d Iraola said, via The Guardian . \u201cThat is very important. He wants to work hard, he wants to be at his best so he can continue here helping us. A player of that level who has achieved what he has achieved, who can be as clear as that with his intentions, is very good for us because I appreciate him a lot. He\u2019s a top player.\u201d<\/p>\n
With his contract unresolved, Mac Allister says his focus is on trophies. \u201cSuccess at this club is always winning,\u201d Mac allister said bluntly. \u201cWe know that the Carabao Cup we are close , but for us the Champions League and Premier League are really, really important.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to fight for every trophy, FA Cup as well. If we have the chance to win trophies we are going to go for it, and I think we have a coaching staff and a group of players that shows every single game that we want to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s being successful for me, for the team. I feel, to have that bond with the fans is already pretty important. So, hopefully it continues like this and we can win some trophies this year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
