Alisson Becker's agent, Ze Maria, has confirmed he is in preliminary talks with Liverpool over a contract renewal for the Brazilian goalkeeper, whose current deal expires at the end of the season.
The Reds exercised their option to extend Alisson's contract by a further year back in March, ensuring he would remain at Anfield for a ninth season. However, his future beyond next summer has been the subject of speculation, with the 34-year-old recently linked with a return to Brazil.
Agent Confirms Preliminary Talks
Speaking to WinWin, Ze Maria said: "Alisson loves Liverpool very much. We are in preliminary talks regarding a contract renewal."
His comments follow Alisson's admission after Liverpool's win over Crystal Palace that he wanted to stay at the club, revealing his agent was in contact with club bosses.
Alisson's Desire to Stay
Speaking after the victory at Selhurst Park, Alisson said: "Yes, in my mind (I want to say). 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. My agent is talking with the club."
Career at Anfield
Alisson has made 347 appearances for Liverpool to date, keeping 141 clean sheets and scoring one goal. He is a two-time Premier League champion with the Reds, and has also won the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at Anfield.
He has remained first-choice under new head coach Andoni Iraola and has been an ever-present in both the Premier League and Champions League so far this season. Despite the opening talks over a new contract, Liverpool have already started to look to a possible future beyond Alisson in recent years, having signed Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi in the summer of 2025, while agreeing a £30m deal with Genk for Lucca Brughmans in September, with the Belgian set to move to Anfield next year.
