No rush: Liverpool not accelerating Mac Allister renewal, paper reports
Liverpool do not intend to accelerate talks over a new deal for Alexis Mac Allister, according to The Telegraph, despite the form of the 27-year-old Argentine whose contract runs to 2028. He scored twice in the 4-3 comeback over Villarreal and has four goals and one assist in 11 games this season.

Alexis Mac Allister vive bom momento, mas a diretoria do Liverpool não pretende acelerar a conversa sobre um novo contrato. A informação é do “The Telegraph”, em texto publicado nesta sexta-feira, e contraria o coro de torcedores que pedem a renovação do argentino de 27 anos — o vínculo dele se encerra em 2028.
A resposta em campo veio na última terça-feira. Pela Champions League, os Reds levavam 2 a 0 do Villarreal, buscaram a virada e venceram por 4 a 3, com dois gols do meia, decisivo tanto na defesa quanto no ataque.
O recorte da temporada sustenta o pedido da arquibancada: quatro gols e uma assistência em 11 partidas pelo clube, além de 56% dos duelos no chão ganhos na Premier League.
Há também uma explicação tática. Sob Andoni Iraola, o time passou a atuar com um desenho mais compacto do que em 2025/26. Mac Allister não é um jogador de cobrir grandes distâncias; reduzido o espaço a proteger, ele vence duelos com frequência e cria chances.
O cenário do setor, porém, embaralha qualquer decisão. Gravenberch e Szoboszlai já renovaram por longo prazo e dificilmente sairão. A aposta interna é que Trey Nyoni, mais novo, ganhe a titularidade nos próximos anos — e Iraola escala apenas dois homens no meio-campo.
A isso se somam os reforços para a posição com que o clube vem sendo relacionado. Com três nomes projetados para anos no time e a chance de mais uma chegada, seria compreensível que o argentino hesitasse em assinar. A dúvida, portanto, não está no desempenho, e sim na conta do elenco.
Se o rendimento atual se mantiver, porém, o Liverpool pode ficar sem alternativa além de apresentar a proposta.
