Alisson says he wants to stay at Liverpool as agent discusses new deal

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker says he wants to stay beyond the end of the season, but talks over a new contract have not yet begun directly with him.

“My will is to stay — I’m happy here and my family is happy here,” the 34-year-old said. He added that his agent was speaking to the club about a possible deal.

Alisson’s current contract expires in June 2027. He joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018 and has made 347 appearances for the club.

Head coach Andoni Iraola said last week that he hoped Alisson would remain, but did not know whether this would be the goalkeeper’s final season at Liverpool. Alisson considered a move to Juventus earlier this year before deciding to stay.

The Brazilian played every minute of Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League matches this season, according to BBC Sport. He made several important saves in Sunday’s win at Crystal Palace, following defeats by Arsenal and Fenerbahçe.

Alisson said Liverpool needed greater consistency to challenge for silverware. “We are capable of great things but as a team we need to get to a point where we feel: ‘We are OK now. We have the confidence. We have everything that’s needed to win.’”
