Alisson Becker Makes Liverpool Contract Desire Clear as Goalkeeper Eyes Longer Anfield Stay

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has revealed that he wants to extend his stay at Anfield, making it clear that he is happy at the club and would love to continue playing for the Reds beyond the current season.

The Brazilian shot-stopper, whose existing contract is due to expire at the end of the campaign, has expressed his desire to remain part of Liverpool’s plans as discussions over his future continue.

Speaking about the possibility of signing a new contract, Alisson admitted that staying at Liverpool is his preferred option.

“Yes, in my mind,” he said when asked whether he wanted to remain at the club.

The 34-year-old added that he remains happy in Liverpool, with his family also settled, while insisting that he still has the motivation to compete at the highest level and challenge for major trophies.

Alisson explained that his future would depend on several factors, but stressed that his personal preference is to continue at Anfield.

“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,” he said.

The Liverpool goalkeeper also made it clear that he has no intention of slowing down, as he remains determined to deliver strong performances and compete for more silverware.

“I’m still hungry for titles and to deliver good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can, so that’s my thinking,” Alisson added.

Meanwhile, Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola recently admitted that he was uncertain whether the current campaign would be Alisson’s final season at the club. However, the manager also made clear that he would welcome the goalkeeper staying for longer.

Providing another important update on the situation, Alisson confirmed that formal discussions have not yet taken place directly between him and Liverpool, although his representative is already in contact with the club.

“No, but my agent is talking with the club,” he revealed.

With Alisson’s desire to stay now clear, attention will turn to whether Liverpool can reach an agreement over fresh terms and secure the future of one of their most important players.

For the Reds, keeping an experienced goalkeeper of Alisson’s quality could prove significant as they look to maintain their ambitions at the highest level.
