Alisson wants Liverpool stay as agent holds contract talks

Alisson Becker has said he wants to remain at Liverpool beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires, and confirmed that his agent is speaking with the club. In comments reported by BBC Sport, the Brazil goalkeeper expressed a desire to stay but stressed that the outcome would depend on several factors. He did not announce an agreement.

The 34-year-old said both he and his family were happy at Liverpool and that he remained motivated to win trophies and perform at the highest level. Asked whether he had personally held discussions about a new deal, Alisson said he had not, while confirming contact between his representative and the club. His stated preference therefore remains distinct from a completed extension.

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola had said last week that he did not know whether this would be Alisson’s final season at the club, although he hoped the goalkeeper would continue. According to the BBC, Alisson considered joining Juventus earlier this year before choosing to remain at Anfield. He arrived from Roma in 2018 for £66.8 million and has since made 347 appearances for Liverpool.

The comments followed Sunday’s victory at Crystal Palace, in which Alisson made several important saves. Liverpool had lost to Arsenal and Fenerbahce earlier in the week. The goalkeeper said the team had produced good performances in individual matches but had not yet established the consistency required to pursue trophies, despite his confidence in the quality of the manager and players.

Alisson described Liverpool as still building the collective belief needed to win regularly. He acknowledged that the process required patience while also stressing the players’ urgency to improve. His assessment concerned the team’s level across matches, rather than treating the victory at Selhurst Park as evidence that their recent difficulties had been resolved.

BBC Sport reported that Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in 10 Premier League matches this season and conceded 10 goals in four Champions League games. Alisson has played every minute in both competitions so far and was named among Iraola’s vice-captains at the start of the season.
