Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker wants to remain at Liverpool beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires. He says his agent is already discussing an extension with the club, while he is still targeting trophies and the highest level, according to the BBC.

Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker wants to extend his contract with the English club beyond the end of the season, when his current deal expires, he said, according to the BBC. “My will is to stay,” said the 34-year-old, who says he is happy at Liverpool with his family.

Alisson joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2018 for £66.8 million and has made 347 appearances for the Reds. He says he wants to continue playing at the highest level and targeting trophies, while his agent is discussing a possible extension with the club, according to the BBC.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola said the previous week that he did not know whether the current season would be Alisson’s last at the club, while hoping to keep the goalkeeper for longer. Alisson had also considered a move to Juventus earlier in 2026 before staying at Liverpool, according to the BBC.

After defeats by Arsenal and Fenerbahçe, Alisson made several crucial saves during Liverpool’s victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday. He believes the team now needs to become more consistent to challenge for trophies, according to the BBC.
