Alisson wants new Liverpool contract as agent opens talks

Alisson Becker wants to stay at Liverpool beyond this season. The Brazil goalkeeper’s contract runs until June 2027. He said his agent is already talking with the club.

Alisson spoke after Liverpool’s 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday. He produced a string of saves at Selhurst Park. It was his clearest public answer yet on a new deal this season.

Alisson: ‘My will is to stay’

BBC Sport reports that Alisson was asked if he wants to remain at Anfield. “Yes [I want to stay], in my mind. I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay,” he said.

“That depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay – I’m happy here and my family is happy here,” he added. “I’m still hungry for titles and to delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can.”

Asked about talks, he was clear. “No, but my agent is talking with the club.” ESPN has carried the same quotes on his desire to stay and the ongoing discussions.

Iraola’s hope

Head coach Andoni Iraola spoke last week before the Palace game. He said he did not know if this would be Alisson’s last season. He hoped the goalkeeper could “continue for more time”.

Iraola also said contract talks sit between the player and the club. He confirmed regular conversations with sporting director Julian Ward. The manager stopped short of revealing details.

Contract and appearances

Alisson joined Liverpool from Roma for £66.8m in 2018. He has made 347 appearances for the Reds, according to BBC Sport. Liverpool triggered a one-year extension that keeps him until the summer of 2027.

After a difficult week that included defeat by Arsenal and a European setback against Fenerbahce, his Palace display mattered. Alisson also stressed that Liverpool need more consistency if they are to challenge for trophies again.

Succession options

Giorgi Mamardashvili is already at Anfield as deputy. Highly rated teenager Lucca Brughmans is due to arrive from Genk next summer. That gives Liverpool cover if talks stall.

Alisson considered Juventus earlier this year before staying. Virgil van Dijk’s deal also runs to the end of this season. Julian Ward faces two big decisions on senior leaders from the 2018 era.

What happens next

No new contract has been announced. Alisson’s words put the next move with the club and his representatives. Liverpool’s transfers hub will track any formal update.

Alisson remains first choice in the Premier League and Champions League. His next club games after the break will be watched closely by the hierarchy as they weigh the length of any new deal at age 34.

“Our reality is that we’re not doing as well as we can,” Alisson also said of Liverpool’s season. He backed Iraola and the squad but called for patience while standards rise. That message sat alongside his contract comments after Palace.
