The agent of veteran Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has delivered a huge update on the 34-year-old’s future on Merseyside, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
FSG 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 as a result.
However, with Alisson set to be a free agent this coming summer, speculation has been mounting over his future, with transfer insider Fabrizio Romano recently commenting on his chances of leaving at the end of the season.
As for the player himself, Alisson admitted after the weekend win over Crystal Palace that he wanted to stay at the club. Indeed, he revealed that his agent was in contact with club bosses.

“Alisson loves Liverpool very much,” he told WinWin. “We are in preliminary talks regarding a contract renewal.”
Alisson drops Liverpool bombshell over future
Speaking after Liverpool’s victory at Selhurst Park over the weekend, 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.”
The Anfield legend has made 347 appearances in all competitions for the club, keeping an impressive 141 during that time.
Alisson has also won the Premier League twice, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the FA Cup and two League Cups during his near-decade on Merseyside.

However, despite the Reds potentially tying down their current No.1 to a new contract, they are still planning for the future of the position.
Indeed, Liverpool snapped up Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi in the summer of 2025, while they agreed a £30m deal with Belgian side Genk for highly-rated stopper Lucca Brughmans back in September, with the 18-year-old stopper poised to move to Merseyside next year.
