Report: Liverpool are ‘not in any rush’ to extend the contract of their ‘most in-form player’

Liverpool are reportedly in no rush to open contract extension talks with midfielder Alexis Mac Allister, despite him entering the final two years of his deal. The Telegraph's Dominic King reported that Anfield officials are taking their time regarding a new contract, though that stance could change if the 27-year-old maintains his strong early-season form under manager Andoni Iraola.

Mac Allister recently scored twice in Liverpool's 4-3 victory against Villarreal after voicing disappointment in September over not receiving an extension earlier in the summer. The Empire of The Kop argues that sporting director Julian Ward should address Mac Allister's contract soon before he enters the final 18 months of his deal.
