Alexis Mac Allister has suggested that Liverpool\u2019s recent outside investment could shape any future discussion over a new deal, with the midfielder acknowledging that several moving parts are now in play around the club.<\/p>\n
Interest in what the investment might mean has already extended beyond the balance sheet. There is a clear sense that it could influence spending on infrastructure, major signings or even the salaries of players already in the squad.<\/p>\n
Mac Allister is among those whose situation may be affected. Although Liverpool previously informed him that they would not be renewing his current contract, which runs until 2028, his strong early-season return to form under the Andoni Iraola era has reopened the possibility that the club could reconsider.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old pointed to the manager change, the arrival of a new sporting director and the new investors as factors that could play into talks over his future.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, the manager has changed, the sporting director has changed, and new investors are coming into the club,\u201d Mac Allister told journalist Gaston Edul . \u201cToday I\u2019m in a position when anything can happen. I enjoy being here a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
That assessment comes after an uneven 2025-26 campaign, with Mac Allister now showing enough improvement to make a contract extension harder to dismiss completely.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I still have time left at the club, which is what I want the most,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t judge the decision they made, I just take my emotions and we move forward. Everything can change before I become a free agent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julian Ward\u2019s arrival as sporting director is also relevant, given his role in bringing Mac Allister to Liverpool from Brighton & Hove Albion. The Athletic have reported that \u201cthe door isn\u2019t closed regarding a new contract,\u201d while adding that \u201cLiverpool won\u2019t be in a hurry regarding Mac Allister\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
