Joyce on Mac Allister uncertainty amid contract silence

Uncertainty is growing around Alexis Mac Allister’s future at Liverpool following a fresh update regarding his contract situation.

The Argentine midfielder, who played a key role in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign last season, has experienced a noticeable dip in form this year. This inconsistency now appears to be reflected off the pitch as well, with concerns emerging over his long-term future at Anfield.

According to Paul Joyce of The Times, there is currently doubt surrounding the player’s situation, particularly because no contract negotiations are taking place at the moment.

While other Liverpool midfielders are making progress in their contract talks—Ryan Gravenberch has already signed a new deal and discussions with Dominik Szoboszlai are ongoing—Mac Allister’s case remains unresolved. His representatives reportedly confirmed that no talks are currently underway regarding an extension.

This lack of movement is significant given how important the World Cup winner was just a year ago. The situation suggests a shift in Liverpool’s midfield planning, especially as the club begins shaping its next phase.

There are also indications that his future could be linked with that of Curtis Jones, as both players occupy similar roles in the squad. Decisions regarding one could influence the other as Liverpool considers potential changes.

Despite still having time remaining on his current contract, the absence of renewal talks—combined with fluctuating performances and reported interest from European clubs—places Mac Allister in an uncertain position compared to this time last year.

With confirmed departures such as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, and further uncertainty surrounding other players, the coming months are expected to be crucial in determining whether Mac Allister remains a core part of Liverpool’s future or becomes one of several high-profile exits.
