Alisson Becker Reveals Liverpool Contract Talks to Extend Nine-Year Stay

Alisson Becker confirmed his agent is in talks with Liverpool regarding a new contract to prevent him from becoming a free agent next June.

Alisson Becker, 34, has confirmed his agent is in discussions with Liverpool regarding a new contract as he enters the final months of his current deal. The Brazilian goalkeeper, now in his ninth season at Anfield, is currently scheduled to become a free agent when his existing terms expire in June. Despite summer links to Juventus, the veteran shot-stopper stated his family is happy on Merseyside and he remains focused on delivering performances at the top level.

The goalkeeper was the standout performer in Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday. That result moved Andoni Iraola's side into fourth place in the Premier League table. Alisson noted that while the team is building confidence under their new head coach, they have yet to achieve the desired level of consistency despite the recent win.

Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has opted to rest Alisson for upcoming international friendlies against Singapore and Japan. The goalkeeper will remain in Liverpool to train during the break rather than reporting for national team duty. He described the decision as beneficial for recovery and family time, though he admitted the omission was somewhat against his personal will to represent his country.
