Father of Alexis Mac Allister Says Liverpool Contract Renewal Talks Yet to Begin

Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has 20 months remaining on his Liverpool contract, but his father Carlos confirms formal renewal negotiations have not started.

Carlos Mac Allister, father of Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, told ESPN that no formal talks regarding a contract renewal have taken place despite the player having only 20 months remaining on his current deal. The 27-year-old Argentina international, who joined the Reds from Brighton in 2023, previously revealed in September that he was not offered a new agreement during the summer transfer window. While no negotiations are currently underway, Carlos suggested a potential breakthrough or update regarding the situation could occur before the end of the year.

Under head coach Andoni Iraola this season, Mac Allister has started every Premier League fixture and recorded one goal. In continental competition, the midfielder has scored three goals in the Champions League. These contributions follow a 2024-25 campaign where he won the Premier League title under former manager Arne Slot. Despite the lack of current progression on a new deal, his father dismissed rumors of a return to Argentine club football, stating the player's future remains in Europe.

Liverpool currently occupies fourth place in the Premier League standings and eighth in the Champions League table. The club has undergone significant leadership changes since Mac Allister's arrival, including a new sporting director and head coach. Following the international break, the team is scheduled to face rivals Manchester United at Anfield.
