Alexis Mac Allister sends Liverpool contract message after Crystal Palace victory

Alexis Mac Allister has reiterated his commitment to Liverpool despite uncertainty over his contract, insisting his performances have not been motivated by disappointment over the lack of a new deal.

The Argentina international, whose agreement runs until 2028, spoke to Spanish newspaper AS after scoring in Sunday's 3-1 Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.

Liverpool previously informed the midfielder's representatives that the club was not in a position to offer an extension.

The 27-year-old admitted in September that he was disappointed not to receive a new contract after Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai signed fresh deals.

However, Mac Allister told AS that his approach has remained unchanged.

"I've always given my all, fought hard, and had this mentality of attacking every match in the best way possible," he explained.

"The important thing is that I'm playing well, that I feel good, and that I hope I can continue like this."

Mac Allister had previously reassured supporters during his September press conference.

"The fans don't need to worry. It will depend on how I perform during these years. I'm going to give 100% and, hopefully, maybe they will change their minds."

Manchester City and Atlético Madrid have previously been linked with the World Cup winner, although neither club has confirmed an approach.

Mac Allister acknowledged having options to leave during the summer but chose to remain at Anfield.

With his contract running until 2028, Liverpool still have time to reconsider their position.

Mac Allister opened the scoring at Selhurst Park in the 40th minute, heading home Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick.

Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak subsequently scored as Andoni Iraola's side secured a 3-1 victory.

Discussing his attacking role, Mac Allister credited Liverpool's coaching staff for encouraging him to enter the penalty area.

"I like scoring goals, being there in the box, and luckily the staff understand that," he said.

The victory lifted Liverpool into fourth place ahead of the November international break.

Liverpool return from the international break against Manchester United on 22 November, with Mac Allister focused on maintaining his form while his long-term future remains unresolved.
