Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has confirmed he has begun talks about extending his future at the club, insisting he remains hungry to claim more titles at Anfield. The Brazilian's current deal expires this summer, but he has instructed his representatives to seek an extension.
Contract talks under way
Alisson has been the Reds' No 1 since 2018, when he joined from Roma for a then-record £67 million. Liverpool triggered a one-year extension in the summer as Juventus circled, and Alisson remains the first choice under head coach Andoni Iraola.
The club have prepared for life after the 34-year-old, spending £60 million on Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia and also signing Lucca Brughmans, who remained on loan at Belgian club Genk.
Still hungry for success
Speaking after Sunday's win over Crystal Palace, 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 highlights
Alisson has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during his time at Anfield, and has twice claimed the Premier League's Golden Glove award. In 2019, he became the first winner of the Yashin Trophy, awarded to the best goalkeeper in the world.
He has been a key figure in Liverpool's success, going back to when Jurgen Klopp first began winning honours. Another stalwart of that era, Virgil van Dijk, recently extended his time at Anfield, though the 35-year-old defender's days at the club are ultimately numbered.
