Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has made it clear he wants to stay at the club despite the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future.
The Brazilian’s contract expires at the end of the season, but he would welcome the opportunity to continue his career with the Reds.
The 34-year-old joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2018 for £66.8 million and has since made 347 appearances for the club.
Speaking about his future, Alisson said he was happy at Liverpool and wanted to stay, although he acknowledged that several factors would influence the final decision.
“Yes [I want to stay], in my mind,” Alisson said (via the BBC). “I’m focused on playing every game, but in my mind I’m happy to stay.
“That depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay – I’m happy here, and my family is happy here.
“I’m still hungry for titles and to deliver good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can, so that’s my thinking.”
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola recently admitted he was unsure whether this would be Alisson’s final season, but he hopes the experienced goalkeeper will remain at Anfield longer.
Alisson also confirmed that discussions over a possible new contract have not taken place directly, but his agent is already speaking with the club’s hierarchy.
The goalkeeper previously considered a move to Juventus but eventually decided to remain at Liverpool.
Alisson’s comments come after putting in a fine display in Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
Having suffered consecutive defeats against Arsenal and Fenerbahce, Liverpool needed a positive response, and Alisson produced several outstanding saves to help secure the win.
However, the Brazilian believes his team still have plenty of work to do before they can compete consistently for major trophies.
He acknowledged that Liverpool have shown their quality in several matches but have struggled to maintain that level from one game to the next.
