Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is making a strong case for a new contract, expressing his hope that standout performances will persuade the club's hierarchy to reconsider their stance on his future.
The Argentine international has openly shared his desire to remain at Anfield, despite having been previously informed last season that a contract renewal was not on the cards at that moment. With approximately 18 months left on his current deal, Mac Allister has caught the eye of major European clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City.
However, the 27-year-old insists Liverpool remains his top priority and believes he can sway the club's decision-makers through his on-field contributions. Speaking after recent European action, Mac Allister acknowledged the role his performances will play. "There’s still time. The fans don’t need to worry," he stated. "It will depend on how I perform during these years. I’m going to give 100% and, hopefully, maybe they (the board) will change their minds.”
Mac Allister's commitment is underscored by his exceptional form this season. He has been instrumental in midfield, delivering world-class performances including a brace against Villarreal and a crucial headed goal in the recent 3-1 Premier League win over Crystal Palace. While his goal against Palace was his first in the league this term, he's also netted three times in four Champions League appearances and added a goal and an assist in the League Cup.
Despite significant transfer interest from European giants, Mac Allister's focus remains firmly on Merseyside. Real Madrid has reportedly identified him as a key midfield target, and Premier League rivals Manchester City have also been monitoring his situation. His latest comments suggest he's not seeking an exit but rather aiming to earn an extension through sheer performance, hoping his dedication will prompt Liverpool to secure his future before rival clubs intensify their pursuit.
