LIVERPOOL MIDFIELDER ALEXIS Mac Allister said Tuesday he could have left during the summer transfer window given how sad he felt at not being offered a new contract when other players were having their deals with the Premier League giants renewed.
Fellow midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch both had their stays at Anfield lengthened, but Mac Allister said his agent was told the club was “not in a position” to offer him a contract extension.
Argentina international Mac Allister did not have his best season with Liverpool last term, but that was equally true of several team-mates during a lacklustre defence of their Premier League title that culminated in the sacking of manager Arne Slot.

Mac Allister, 27, was linked with a move away from Merseyside, including to Atletico Madrid – the Reds’ Champions’ League opponents at Anfield on Wednesday.
Options to leave
He has two years remaining on his contract and said he is determined to continue to give “100%” to Liverpool’s cause.
“There were options to leave this summer,” Mac Allister told a pre-match press conference at Anfield on Tuesday.
“I think as everyone knows I received the news that the club was not in a position to offer me a new contract, which of course makes me very, very sad.”
He added: “I think I give 100% for this football club every single day in training, games. Of course I can have very good games, bad games, like everyone, but I always give my best.
“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 I didn’t get mine.
“Of course, there is still time, the fans don’t need to worry because I will give 100% until the last day I am here. We will see what happens.”
“But I think right now I am in the right club and I have the right mindset to give my 100% to the club.”
