Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has expressed his desire to extend his stay at Anfield, making it clear that he wants to continue playing for the Reds beyond the end of the current season.
The Brazilian shot-stopper, who is now 34, has a contract that is due to expire at the end of the campaign. However, despite uncertainty surrounding his long-term future, Alisson has revealed that he remains happy at Liverpool and would welcome the opportunity to sign a new deal.
Speaking about his future, the experienced goalkeeper admitted that staying at Anfield is very much his preferred option.
“Yes, in my mind,” Alisson responded when asked whether he wanted to remain at Liverpool.
He continued:
“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.
“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.”
His comments will undoubtedly be encouraging news for Liverpool supporters, particularly given the importance of the Brazilian to the club over the years.
Since arriving from AS Roma in 2018, Alisson has established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in Liverpool’s history, playing a crucial role in the club’s major successes and delivering countless outstanding performances.
Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola recently admitted that he was uncertain whether the current campaign would be Alisson’s final season at Anfield. However, the Spaniard also made it clear that he would love to have the Brazilian around for longer.
Alisson also provided an update on the possibility of a new contract, revealing that formal discussions have not yet taken place directly with him, although his representative is already communicating with the club.
“No, but my agent is talking with the club,” he explained.
This suggests that conversations surrounding his future are already underway behind the scenes, although no agreement has been announced.
For Liverpool, keeping Alisson could be an important decision as the club looks to maintain its strength and experience between the posts.
At 34, the Brazilian remains determined to compete at the highest level, and his latest comments show that he has no immediate desire to walk away from Anfield.
The message from Alisson is clear: he wants to stay, his family is happy in Liverpool, and he is still hungry for more trophies.
Now, the big question is whether Liverpool will offer their legendary goalkeeper the new contract he wants. 🔴
