Alisson Becker’s agent has offered an update on the Liverpool goalkeeper’s future ahead of his contract expiring at the end of the season.

The Reds took up their option to extend the Brazilian’s contract by a further year back in March, ensuring he would remain at Anfield for a ninth season.

But his future beyond next summer remains the subject of speculation, with the 34-year-old recently being linked with a return to Brazil.

However, Alisson admitted he wanted to stay put at Liverpool following the Reds’ win over Crystal Palace as he revealed his agent was in contact with club bosses.

And his representative, Ze Maria, has confirmed he is in preliminary talks with the club over an extension for his client.

“Alisson loves Liverpool very much,” he told WinWin. "We are in preliminary talks regarding a contract renewal.”

Speaking after Liverpool’s victory at Selhurst Park, Alisson expressed his desire to stay put at Anfield.

He 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.”

Alisson has made 347 appearances for Liverpool to date, keeping 141 clean sheets and scoring one goal.

A two-time Premier League champion with the Reds, he has also won the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the FA Cup and two League Cups during his time at Anfield.

Meanwhile, he has remained first-choice under new head coach Andoni Iraola and been an ever-present in both the Premier League and Champions League so far this season.

But that has not stopped Liverpool from already starting to look to a possible future beyond Alisson in recent years, regardless of opening talks over a new contract.

The Reds signed Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi in the summer of 2025, while they agreed a £30m deal with Genk for Lucca Brughmans back in September, with the highly-rated Belgian set to move to Anfield next year.
