Alisson reveals transfer plan with Liverpool contract set to expire

Alisson Becker has revealed that he wants to stay at Liverpool, despite his contract on Merseyside expiring this summer.

The Brazilian has been with the Anfield club since 2018, when he moved from Roma for £66.8million, making him the most expensive goalkeeper ever before Chelsea moved to land Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Club.

The 34-year-old has been the Reds’ go-to No1 since his arrival, and he has played under three managers in his time there.

Jurgen Klopp was the head coach that signed him, and he retained his place under Arne Slot and now Andoni Iraola, despite the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.

Questions have been raised over whether Alisson will remain a Liverpool player beyond this season, with no news of a contract extension as of yet.

His current deal runs out at the end of the current campaign, but the shot-stopper wants to stay put.

"Yes, in my mind," he told reporters. "I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay. You know, that depends on a lot of aspects and different situations.

"But my will is to stay. I’m happy here, my family is happy here. I’m still hungry for titles and for delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can. So that’s my thinking on that."

Alisson played a key role in the Reds’ 3-1 win at Crystal Palace at the weekend, a result that sees Iraola’s men up to fourth in the Premier League table, and pushes Palace boss Pierre Sage closer to the sack.
