The 27-year-old Argentina international, who has two years remaining on his current deal signed in summer 2023, revealed he had chances to leave during the off-season but chose to stay at Anfield.

Speaking before Liverpool's Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid, Mac Allister told Sky Sports (via skysports.com) he was informed the club could not offer him fresh terms. "It makes me very, very sad," he said, acknowledging he gives his maximum effort daily.

However, Mac Allister stressed his commitment remains unwavering. "Of course, there is still time. The fans don't need to worry because I will give my 100 per cent until the last day I'm here," he added.

The midfielder confirmed no direct conversation took place between him and the club—negotiations were handled by his agent. He suggested the door remains ajar, hinting contract talks could resume depending on his performance this season.

Mac Allister has featured in Liverpool's recent league matches under new manager Andoni Iraola, who has made a promising start. The Argentine expressed admiration for Iraola's methods and appears to view the upcoming campaign as an opportunity to prove his value during what could be a successful season for the Reds.

Betting angle

Mac Allister's motivation to prove himself amid contract uncertainty may sharpen his performance, though squad harmony tensions could influence Liverpool's ability to maintain title momentum.
