Liverpool have reportedly restarted contract talks with Alexis Mac Allister, with the club now exploring a new deal for the Argentina international.

According to transfer source Indy Kaila, the Reds have reopened negotiations over an extension to Mac Allister’s current contract, which runs until June 2028.

The midfielder’s future had become a talking point in recent weeks after Liverpool initially decided against offering him a new deal. That decision reportedly attracted interest from several major European clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester City.

The latest development, however, suggests Liverpool’s stance may have changed as the club considers Mac Allister’s long-term future at Anfield.

Mac Allister was ‘very, very sad’ over Liverpool’s initial decision

The reported return to the negotiating table comes after Mac Allister publicly addressed his disappointment over Liverpool’s earlier decision.

The midfielder revealed that he was “very, very sad” after learning that the club was not prepared to offer him a new contract, particularly as teammates Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai had recently agreed extensions.

Despite his frustration, Mac Allister made it clear that his commitment to Liverpool had not changed.

“As everyone knows, I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract, which makes me very, very sad. The fans don’t need to worry because I will give my 100 per cent until the last day I’m here.”

That commitment has been reflected in his performances since the start of the season.

Mac Allister strengthening his case on the pitch

Mac Allister has enjoyed an impressive run of form in recent weeks, giving Liverpool further reason to reconsider his contract situation.

The World Cup winner has made his presence felt in several competitions, including scoring against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and finding the net against Tottenham in the League Cup.

His performances have once again underlined the qualities that make him an important part of Liverpool’s midfield. His technical ability, work rate and tactical intelligence allow him to influence games in several different ways.

That resurgence could prove significant as Liverpool assess whether to secure his future beyond his current contract.

Mac Allister still has two years remaining on his existing deal, meaning there is no immediate contractual crisis. However, reopening negotiations would give Liverpool an opportunity to remove the uncertainty that has surrounded his future in recent weeks.

Interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs had added another layer to the situation, but the latest report suggests Liverpool are now prepared to revisit their position.

For Mac Allister, the development comes after he publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the club. If talks progress, Liverpool could move closer to securing the midfielder’s long-term future at Anfield.
