Carlos Mac Allister, the father of Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, has provided a candid update on his son’s contract situation at Anfield.
While the 27-year-old’s current deal runs until the summer of 2028, recent reports suggest the Reds may be open to parting ways with him. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future, Mac Allister has remained an indispensable starter under new manager Andoni Iraola, contributing five goals and an assist in 16 appearances this season.

Speaking to ESPN, Carlos Mac Allister explained that changes in the club’s leadership have put contract discussions on hold for now.
“There are still 20 months left on his contract; Liverpool’s sporting director has changed and so has the coach,” he said. “The situation is still under review, and there may be news before the end of the year.
“We haven’t started renewal talks yet; if everything goes well, he’ll renew, and if not, that’s fine—he’ll go his own way like so many others.”
He also underscored his son’s elite credentials, insisting that the Argentine international would easily attract top European clubs if he leaves Merseyside.

“He’s a young player who won the Copa America and the World Cup, was runner-up in the last World Cup, and was the Argentine player who ran the most during the tournament,” Carlos added.
“He has a ton of records and achievements that will ensure his career takes him to top-tier destinations. When you play for Liverpool and aim to maintain the same level of play, you know there are only six or seven teams in the world where you could play.”
