Mac Allister Contract: Father Reveals No Liverpool Extension Talks

Liverpool’s contract negotiations continue across multiple fronts, with the club working to secure the futures of key players following the recent extension signed by Ryan Gravenberch. However, talks with Alexis Mac Allister are currently stalled, with the Argentine’s father and agent, Carlos Mac Allister, stating there are “no negotiations” taking place at this stage.

The news comes after Carlos Mac Allister indicated last month that they were “waiting for an offer” from the club. Despite that initial signal, no progress appears to have been made, leaving Mac Allister’s long-term future at Anfield uncertain.

Mac Allister, who turned 27 on Christmas Eve, is currently contracted to Liverpool until 2028. This timeline presents a strategic challenge for the club, particularly given reported interest from Real Madrid. As Mac Allister enters his late twenties, Liverpool will necessitate to weigh the benefits of a contract extension against the potential to secure a significant transfer fee should they choose to cash in.

The situation is complicated by Mac Allister’s performance this season.

Liverpool will need to assess whether this is a temporary setback or the beginning of a concerning trend, drawing parallels to the situation with former midfielder Fabinho.

Beyond Mac Allister, Liverpool are also engaged in discussions with Dominik Szoboszlai regarding a new contract, recognizing his excellent performances this season. Contact has also been made with Mac Allister’s camp, though those talks are less advanced. However, the futures of Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson remain less certain, with both players’ contracts expiring at the end of the current season.

Konate, who will turn 27 in May, is a player Liverpool are keen to retain, but negotiations have reportedly stalled. The club recognizes the importance of securing the French centre-back’s future, but reaching an agreement has proven difficult. Robertson’s situation is also unclear, though the differing ages of the two defenders likely play a role in the contrasting approaches to their contract talks.

The flurry of contract activity follows the successful renewal of Ryan Gravenberch’s deal, which sees him turn into one of the club’s highest earners. This extension signals Liverpool’s commitment to building a core group of players for the long term, but the ongoing negotiations with Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Konate and Robertson highlight the complexities of managing a squad with numerous players entering critical contract periods.

As of March 8, 2026, the following Liverpool players have contracts expiring:
