Liverpool set to negotiate new deal for Alexis Mac Allister soon

Liverpool plans to initiate contract talks with midfielder Alexis Mac Allister later this year, as he has two years remaining on his current deal. The club values the 27-year-old at €100m (£85.5m) and sees him as a key figure in their long-term project. Interest in Mac Allister from Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea has been reported, but his father asserts the player intends to stay at Anfield. Recent contract extensions for players like Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai have paved the way for this upcoming negotiation. To mitigate further transfer speculation ahead of the new season, Liverpool aims to prioritize these discussions promptly.
