I see Dominik and Ryan renewing their contracts and that makes me very happy because they deserve it, but at the same time it makes me a little bit sad that I didn’t get mine.” Now, speaking on Give Me Sport‘s market madness podcast [via Read Liverpool], Jacobs claimed that Mac Allister won’t be offered a contract extension by Liverpool, as things stand: “As things stand, Liverpool do not intend to offer Alexis Mac Allister a new contract. It looked as though the Argentine’s legs had gone, and selling him in the summer made sense, but he has made an admirable return to his best in 2026/27, standing out as one of the Reds’ most influential players and being hailed by Andoni Iraola: “I think he’s another of the kind of leaders we have.

I think that he has a lot of experience still not being as old, but I think he has been involved in top-level games and has won big titles club-wise and national team-wise. He arrived as the last one [to pre-season], I think, with Victor [Munoz].

“But after two or three weeks he went into great form and I think he’s performing consistently well. I hope he can stay there because it’s going to be easier for us.” Mac Allister’s form shows that he is still very much a footballer in his prime, and that last season looks to be a one-off blip, so handing him a new deal makes complete sense.
