Premier League
Alexis Mac Allister has raised a question mark about his future at Liverpool after admitting that not receiving a contract renewal offer has affected him. The 27-year-old Argentine midfielder is under contract until 2028 and was on Real Madrid's radar during the summer, a situation that could prompt the club to reconsider his signing if his contractual status remains unchanged.
Mac Allister confirmed that he had opportunities to leave Anfield during the last transfer window but ultimately chose to stay. The lack of an extension now holds more significance as midfield teammates like Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch have secured new deals.

Alexis Mac Allister expresses discontent with Liverpool
The player himself, Alexis Mac Allister, revealed before Liverpool's Champions League debut that his agent informed him that the club was not willing to offer him an extension. His current contract runs until June 2028, meaning that next summer he would enter his final twelve months if a new agreement is not reached before then.
The Argentine also acknowledged the possibility of leaving this summer but, for now, he remains committed to Liverpool and feels that the club is the right place for him to continue the season.
His influence within the team remains significant. Since joining from Brighton in 2023, Mac Allister has played 153 matches, scored 19 goals, and provided 20 assists for the English side, winning a Premier League title and a League Cup in the process.
However, the contractual situation sets a clear deadline. Without a renewal in the coming months, Liverpool will have to consider in 2027 the option of selling him or risking him entering the final year of his contract.
Real Madrid maintains interest in a profile that attracts Mourinho
Real Madrid was linked with Mac Allister during the summer transfer window, alongside interest from other English clubs. In July, reports mentioned Liverpool's demands at around £85 million, a figure close to €100 million.
His profile fits a position that José Mourinho could still strengthen. Despite exploring various options, Real Madrid didn't sign a central midfielder during the summer, and the Argentine can play both in a deeper role and further up the pitch.
Mac Allister has already shown his ability in organizing play and retrieving possession since arriving in England. His skill in contributing to the team's build-up play and working off the ball allows him to cover multiple positions in midfield.
The scenario could favor Real Madrid more if no renewal occurs. The price that Liverpool could command with two years left on the contract would need revisiting as June 2028 approaches, especially if the player maintains his current stance. Real Madrid is not the only interested party, as Atletico also shows interest in signing him.

The next move depends on the renewal
Currently, there is no rift between the player and the club. Mac Allister has reiterated that he will continue to give his best while at Anfield, and his coach Andoni Iraola has emphasized that he values the player's commitment to stay.
The next step for Alexis Mac Allister will be to see if Liverpool changes its stance and initiates discussions during the season. If no offer comes before the next summer window, Real Madrid will have a much more favorable opportunity to consider a deal before the Argentine enters the final year of his contract.
