Liverpool currently has no immediate plans to open negotiations regarding a new contract for Alexis Mac Allister. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the 27-year-old midfielder's current deal has less than two years remaining, and the player is reportedly frustrated by the lack of progress on a renewal.
Meanwhile, the Merseysiders are looking to bolster their midfield in the coming year. Potential candidates under consideration include Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Monaco's Lamine Camara. These internal plans highlight the club's intent to reshape its midfield options.
This uncertainty surrounding the Argentine's future has caught the eye of other clubs, most notably Atletico Madrid, who are closely watching the situation unfold.
Despite the contract uncertainty, Mac Allister remains a vital part of Liverpool's side. He has recorded four goals and one assist in 11 appearances this season, including a brace against Villarreal in the Champions League this week.
