Liverpool have reportedly reopened discussions over a new contract for Alexis Mac Allister after the midfielder’s strong recent performances have changed the situation at Anfield. The report, published by Brainy Facts on September 20, 2026, attributes the latest claim to transfer source Indy Kaila.
Mac Allister’s current Liverpool contract runs until June 2028. Earlier this year, Liverpool had reportedly decided not to offer him an extension, while fellow midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai received new long-term deals. Mac Allister subsequently admitted that the decision made him “very, very sad.”
Despite his disappointment, the 27-year-old chose to remain at Liverpool during the summer despite having opportunities to leave. He said he believes he is at the right club and insisted that he would continue giving his best for Liverpool.
His recent form has changed the picture
Mac Allister has responded strongly on the pitch. He scored against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and then found the net again in Liverpool’s 3–1 Carabao Cup victory over Tottenham.
Those performances have reportedly encouraged Liverpool to reconsider the midfielder’s long-term situation. The club had initially been prepared to wait because he still had two years remaining on his contract and his form during the previous season had been inconsistent.
Interest from other clubs
Mac Allister has also been linked with major European clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester City. His decision to stay at Liverpool despite those links has added another factor to the contract situation.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has also spoken positively about Mac Allister and said the midfielder is important to the team, while indicating there is time to address individual contract situations.
What happens next?
The reported talks are still at an early stage, and there is no confirmed agreement or new contract yet. Mac Allister has almost two full seasons remaining on his existing deal, so Liverpool are not under immediate contractual pressure.
For now, the key development is that Liverpool are reportedly reconsidering their previous position and have reopened discussions, with Mac Allister’s resurgence strengthening his case for a new deal.
