Alisson confirms Liverpool transfer decision

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has confirmed that he wants to stay at the club beyond this season, with his agent now in talks over a new deal at Anfield.

The Brazil international, 34, is currently set to become a free agent following the conclusion of the 2026-27 campaign and widespread reports have suggested that he is likely to leave the club on a Bosman deal amid significant interest from Juventus.

Liverpool have already been preparing for Alisson’s exit through the signings of Giorgi Mamardashvili and Lucca Brughmans, while Anfield Watch have revealed that FC Porto shot-stopper Diogo Costa is also on the club’s transfer radar ahead of next year.

Costa has been a standout performer for Porto for several seasons and after significant interest from a host of top Premier League teams in recent years, he has been added to Liverpool’s transfer radar ahead of 2027.

However, Alisson has now confirmed that he has no intention of leaving Liverpool next year, with the Brazilian eager to remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future.

“Yes, in my mind (I want to say),” Alisson told reporters after Liverpool’s victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

“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.”

He added: “Yes I feel (as good as ever), of course. In some games, we don’t have the result we want but that’s football, that’s part of football and you just have to keep working hard, having the right motivation to do stuff.

“The same motivation I had coming into today, I had in the other games. This is the game that you want to happen all the time but you know that is not the reality.

“You’re going to have to deal with different situations and you just need to stay calm, work hard and the result will come in the future.”

“I think you have to manage all of the situations," Alisson continued. "When you are doing well, you need to control a little bit the excitement so you don’t get overexcited.

“Our reality is that we’re not doing as well as we can. It doesn’t mean that we are not doing well - we are doing well in so many games - but the consistency is not there yet.

“The moment for us is to control the frustration that the defeats bring and stay with a clear mind and looking for the quality in our team. We have a top manager, top players.

“We are capable of great things but as a team we need to get to a point where we feel: ‘We are okay now. We have the confidence. We have everything that’s needed to win’. We are building that.

“I hope we get there really quick but it takes time. We have to be patient but we players, in our mind, we don’t have time to waste. We want to win, we want to be Premier League champions, Champions League champions, League Cup champions, FA Cup champions. We want to win everything with this club because this is special and it’s what we’re here for.”

Alisson, who has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €12.5 million, has made a total of 347 appearances for Liverpool since his arrival at the club from AS Roma, winning eight major trophies during that time.
