Mac Allister also earns the same amount as Federico Chiesa and Ryan Gravenberch. However, he is ranked higher than the two due to signing his contract earlier, alas being paid more so far. He also earns the same amount as Alsson, but earns bonuses, unlike the Brazilian.

Alexis Mac Allister signed his current Liverpool deal until June 2028.
