Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has offered a clear piece of advice to Alexis Mac Allister regarding the midfielder’s ongoing contract situation at Anfield. Following a standout performance in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, Gerrard urged the Argentine international to “let your football do the talking” to ensure he is rewarded by the club.
Mac Allister, whose current deal is set to run until 2028, recently voiced his frustration at not being offered an extension by Liverpool’s hierarchy. While the club successfully secured new contracts for teammates Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Argentine remains in limbo. Despite this, he delivered a decisive display on September 9, scoring the 50th-minute goal that completed Liverpool’s comeback after Marcos Llorente had opened the scoring for the hosts in the 17th minute. Dominik Szoboszlai had leveled the match shortly before halftime.
Since joining Liverpool from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023 for a reported £40 million, Mac Allister has become a vital component of the squad, recording 20 goals and 20 assists across 154 appearances. His tenure has included securing both a Premier League title and an EFL Cup. However, the team is looking to bounce back from a difficult 2025-26 campaign that concluded without any silverware.
Under the guidance of new manager Andoni Iraola, Mac Allister has featured in every match this season, helping the side secure two wins and two draws across all competitions. As the club prepares for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Fulham on Saturday, September 12, the focus remains on maintaining momentum on the pitch. Mac Allister’s recent public comments regarding his contract disappointment have highlighted a clear desire for stability, but for now, his immediate impact on the field remains his most significant contribution to the team’s objectives. The report also notes that after Marcos Llorente (17′) had given the hosts the lead, Dominik Szoboszlai (40′) and Mac Allister (50′) completed Liverpool’s comeback.
