Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has asked for the club to think about offering him a new deal, as his current one comes up for renewal at the end of the season, and suggested he’d like to stay at Anfield. The Brazilian’s 34 is still very much in the game, with him helping Liverpool to achieve success both domestically and in Europe since joining from AS Roma in 2018.
Alisson is a 347 match-winning player for the Merseyside outfit, having claimed seven big titles with the team including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. But despite some talk of a move on, the veteran goalkeeper has said a move is his last resort and prefers to remain at Anfield. Alisson, who was asked to confirm his loyalty to the club after Liverpool’s 3-1 Premier League win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, confirmed his plans. “Yes (I want to stay), in my mind. I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay,” he said.
The Brazilian admitted there were a number of factors that would affect the decision, but that both he and his family was “settled” on Merseyside. He also spoke of his desire to keep playing at the highest level and explained that he is still hungry for more medals and would like to keep on performing for as long as he can. Alisson also revealed that his agent had already taken Liverpool’s managerial team into consideration about the situation, indicating it could be a significant talking point in the coming months. But there are options for Liverpool in the future.
