Alisson Becker, Liverpool's No. 1, has informed the fans and the club hierarchy that he would like to extend his stay at Liverpool beyond this season.

“Yes (I want to stay), in my mind. 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,” Becker said after Sunday’s 3-1 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

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

He has been a pivotal part of one of Liverpool’s most successful periods in the club's history since signing in 2018. Becker has made 347 appearances for the team, winning seven major trophies in that period, including the English Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Andoni Iraola, Liverpool head coach, also thinks that the Brazilian could continue as his No. 1 in the future, with the keeper’s agent currently in conversation with the club.

“Our reality is that we’re not doing as well as we can. The consistency is not there yet. We have a top manager, top players. We are capable of great things, but as a team we need to get to a point where we feel: ‘We are OK now. We have the confidence. We have everything that’s needed to win,” said Becker on Liverpool’s start to the season.

Giorgi Mamardashvili and highly rated new joinee Lucca Brughmans are waiting in the wings to take over from the Brazilian whenever the situation is right.
