Alisson wants new Liverpool deal, agent in talks

Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker has stated his intention to remain with the club. His agent is already in talks with the Reds about a new deal, although the keeper himself has not spoken directly to the board.

Manager Andoni Iraola welcomed the news, saying he hopes Alisson will continue beyond this season and that contract discussions are a matter for the player and the club.

Alisson, now 34, is still regarded as one of the Premier League’s top shot‑stoppers, having produced a recent save‑of‑the‑season contender against Christos Tzolis and delivering a solid performance against Crystal Palace, only conceding from a disputed penalty.

Despite questions about his distribution, his overall form remains high, and Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti, who omitted him from the latest squad, still rates him as his best goalkeeper and expects him to start in key matches.

Looking ahead, Liverpool are aware a future successor will be needed, with Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen identified as a potential replacement when the time comes.
