Liverpool have triggered a 12-month contract extension to keep goalkeeper Alisson Becker at Anfield until the end of the 2026-27 season, sources have confirmed to ESPN. The Brazilian's previous deal was set to expire this summer, but the extension ensures his experience remains between the posts for another campaign.

Alisson joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018 under Jürgen Klopp and formed a formidable partnership with Virgil van Dijk that underpinned the club's Champions League and Premier League successes. The 33-year-old missed Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Galatasaray due to a minor training injury but is expected to return for Sunday's crucial match against Tottenham.

Head coach Arne Slot has urged his players to maximize their potential in the remaining fixtures, though the team faces mounting pressure after consecutive losses. Liverpool's decision to extend Alisson's contract demonstrates their commitment to stability in goal as they navigate a challenging season under their new manager.
