Alisson Becker has won six major honours at Liverpool, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2019
Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart says Liverpool's Alisson Becker will "forever be regarded as one of the best to play the position" when he finally leaves Anfield.
Alisson is inside the final year of his contract at Liverpool but revealed after Sunday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace that his agent was in talks over his future with the club, which was later backed up by the Brazilian's representative Ze Maria Neis.
Alisson signed from Roma in the summer of 2018 for what was then a world-record fee of £65m for a goalkeeper and the Brazil international has since gone on to win six major honours, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2019.
Ex-Manchester City shot-stopper Hart, who amassed 75 caps in total for England, believes the veteran Reds star should be held up as one of the finest of the modern era when he eventually leaves.

“One of the best to do it in the Premier League," Hart told The Athletic. "What I love is his simplicity.
"He’s not necessarily eye-catching in the way he moves, but it’s the way he deals with everything. He makes massive saves. His one-on-one technique is unbelievable, and he has made it his own.

"He very rarely gets beaten one-on-one, which in this Premier League is incredible because you’re up against some of the best strikers in the world.
"He’s struggled a bit with injuries lately, but I think he’ll forever be regarded as one of the best to play the position."

Alisson has not been called up for the latest Brazil squad and will be back in action when Liverpool host Manchester United after the international break on November 22.
Speaking after the victory over Palace, he said: “It is beneficial (to have a break), for sure. You have to use it right because you have a lot of time so if you don’t train, if you don’t prepare, time goes really quick and you need to stay sharp.
"It’s not that I will sit on the couch for a week and then come back training. I still have to work hard but in my mind I can use the time to relax and be more with my family. It’s a little bit against my will.
"What I always want is to be with the national team but I understand this is what I have at the moment and I will use this time and take the benefit from the rest.”
