Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker says he wants to stay beyond this season, when his contract ends. The 34‑year‑old joined from Roma for £66.8m in 2018 and has made 347 appearances for the Reds. “Yes [I want to stay], in my mind,” he said, noting family happiness and a hunger for titles.
Head coach Andoni Iraola hopes Alisson can stay longer, though he is unsure if this will be his final year. Alisson’s agent is in talks with the club, and the Brazil keeper previously considered a move to Juventus. Squad depth includes Giorgi Mamardashvili and 18‑year‑old Lucca Brughmans, who will join from Genk in the summer, giving Iraola solid backup.
With senior players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk also nearing contract ends, sporting director Julian Ward faces key decisions. Alisson, a vice‑captain, remains a leader but his distribution has been questioned after recent defeats. If he keeps delivering performances like the Crystal Palace win, a new deal is likely. Liverpool will watch his form closely as they aim to build consistency for trophies.
