Liverpool is reportedly planning to open contract extension talks with midfielder Alexis Mac Allister later this year, aiming to secure his future at Anfield and solidify his role in the club's long-term plans.
Despite having two years left on his current deal, Liverpool wants to emphasize Mac Allister's importance to the squad. Sources indicate that the club views him as a central figure for their future projects.
While Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, along with Spanish giants Real Madrid, showed interest earlier in the summer, Mac Allister's representatives and the club have shut down these approaches. His father, who also serves as his agent, confirmed that a departure was never on the table and the player is committed to staying at Liverpool, effectively ending any transfer speculation for this summer.
Mac Allister is reportedly excited to work with new head coach Andoni Iraola and envisions himself playing a significant part in Liverpool's ongoing project. His current market value is estimated at €70 million, but Liverpool reportedly set a €100 million threshold in July, underscoring their strong stance against selling him.
Since joining from Brighton in 2023 for €42 million, Mac Allister has become a vital player for both Liverpool and the Argentine national team, boasting 54 caps and 7 goals for his country. Although Galatasaray is reportedly monitoring the Premier League market, Mac Allister's commitment and Liverpool's firm position make any summer move highly unlikely.
With Liverpool already facing depth issues in midfield, losing a key player like Mac Allister would be a significant blow. The club's focus on retaining its top talent is crucial as they aim to bounce back strongly in the upcoming season after a comparatively underwhelming previous campaign.
