Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has declared his desire to sign a new contract at Anfield beyond the expiration of his current terms at the end of the season, with preliminary discussions already underway between his representative and club bosses, Football365 reported.
- Goalkeeping Stability: Alisson’s desire to stay offers certainty for fantasy managers tracking clean-sheet potential under head coach Andoni Iraola, though emerging options like Giorgi Mamardashvili and Lucca Brughmans loom in the background.
- Betting Futures: The resolution of key veteran contracts strengthens Liverpool’s defensive stability, keeping the Reds firmly in the market for top-four and domestic trophy aspirations.
- Squad Rotation: With Alisson left out of Brazil’s squad for the international break by head coach Carlo Ancelotti, he remains focused on domestic fixtures.
Alisson enters the final phase of his current agreement alongside fellow veteran Virgil van Dijk, with sporting director Julian Ward facing difficult retention choices. While transfer insider Fabrizio Romano previously hinted at serious chances for the Brazilian to depart on a free transfer, Alisson cleared up his immediate future following a stellar display at Selhurst Park.
“Yes, in my mind,” Alisson stated when asked if he intends to remain past the current campaign, as cited by the BBC. “I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay. 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.”

Confirming the administrative steps behind the scenes, Alisson’s representative Ze Maria told WinWin that preliminary renewal discussions have officially commenced.
| Goalkeeper | Age | Joined From | Current Contract Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alisson Becker | 34 | Roma (2018) | Expiring June (Agent in talks) |
| Giorgi Mamardashvili | 26 | Valencia (2024) | Squad member |
| Lucca Brughmans | 18 | Genk | Scheduled to join next summer |
Despite recent scrutiny over his distribution—notably punished during fixtures against Arsenal and Fenerbahce—Alisson remains at the peak of his powers regarding one-v-one situations and shot stopping. Sky Sports noted his saves during the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace, reaffirming his status as head coach Andoni Iraola's undisputed number one.
Behind the Brazilian veteran, Liverpool continue securing succession plans.
