Alisson wants to sign new Liverpool contract

What the report says
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker says he wants to remain at Anfield beyond the end of the season, when his current deal is due to run down. In comments reported by BBC Sport Football, the 34-year-old said he is happy at the club, that his family is settled there and that he still feels motivated to compete for trophies at the highest level.
Alisson joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018 for £66.8m and has made 347 appearances for the club. He said his agent is speaking with Liverpool, although he has not personally held contract talks. The Brazil international also admitted he considered a move to Juventus earlier this year, but ultimately stayed. BBC Sport noted that Liverpool have other goalkeeping options coming through, including Giorgi Mamardashvili, yet losing Alisson on a free transfer would still be a significant decision for the club.
The timing comes after a mixed spell for Liverpool, who have had an uneven run of results in recent weeks. Alisson was praised for several important saves in the win at Crystal Palace, and he argued that the team still needs greater consistency to challenge for silverware. The broader context is that Liverpool’s leadership must also weigh other senior contract situations, with defender Virgil van Dijk also due to be out of contract at season’s end.
