Alexis Mac Allister remains hopeful that his performances will persuade Liverpool to offer him a new contract, but the available reporting does not support claims that he publicly criticised teammates’ wages or demanded an immediate agreement. The Argentine’s position has been one of continued commitment: his current deal runs until 2028, and he has pledged to keep giving his best while his longer-term future remains unresolved.

Speaking to AS after Sunday’s 3–1 victory at Crystal Palace, Mac Allister rejected the suggestion that disappointment over his contract had prompted a change in his approach. “I don’t see it that way, honestly. I’ve always given my all, fought hard, and had this mentality of attacking every match in the best way possible,” he said. His comments emphasised continuity in his effort rather than a confrontation with Liverpool’s hierarchy.

Strong Performances Renew Calls for a Deal
Mac Allister opened the scoring at Selhurst Park with a header, helping Liverpool win a match in which Palace had created threatening opportunities. He credited the coaching staff with encouraging him to attack the penalty area: “I enjoy scoring goals and getting into the box, and fortunately, the coaching staff understands that.”

His contribution has strengthened outside calls for Liverpool to resolve his future. Former Watford striker Troy Deeney selected him in his Premier League team of the week and questioned why an extension had not been agreed. “He keeps coming up big, high energy, and he is vitally important to the way Liverpool play,” Deeney said. Those were a pundit’s observations—not an ultimatum from the player.

Reports have contrasted Mac Allister’s situation with the new deals awarded to Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch, whose salaries have been estimated at around £300,000 per week. Those figures are reported estimates, and the available sources do not substantiate attributing the remarks “Where are they? We are not seeing them” to Mac Allister.

An Unresolved Decision, Not an Imminent Expiry
Mac Allister revealed in September that Liverpool had not been in a position to offer him a new contract. At that time, he expressed disappointment but also stressed that there was time to change the situation: “The fans don’t need to worry. It’s going to depend on how I perform over these next few years. I’m going to give 100% and, hopefully, they might change their minds.” AS revisited those earlier remarks in its November reporting; they should not be presented as a newly issued deadline.

With his agreement running until summer 2028, Liverpool are not facing an immediate expiry. Nevertheless, the coming summer would bring him into the final year of that deal, making an extension or a decision about his future increasingly significant.

For now, the clearest message from Mac Allister is commitment, not confrontation. His performances have given supporters and commentators grounds to argue for a new contract, but that debate should remain distinct from what he has actually said about his teammates, his wages and Liverpool’s leadership.
