Alisson: Liverpool goalkeeper 'happy to stay' as agent holds contract talks

Alisson Becker has declared he is "happy to stay" at Liverpool, with his agent now in discussions with the club over a deal beyond the end of the season.

The 34-year-old is out of contract in June. Liverpool triggered a one-year option in his deal and kept him through the summer despite interest from Juventus, a move the Brazilian himself considered.

Head coach Andoni Iraola said last week that he wanted the goalkeeper to remain, telling reporters: "I hope he continues with us for more time."

Alisson strengthened his own case in Sunday's 3-1 win at Crystal Palace, a result that lifted Liverpool to fourth in the Premier League.

He denied Daichi Kamada with a sharp reaction stop, clawed away an Adam Wharton header before the break and frustrated Yeremy Pino in a one-on-one. It was a timely response after criticism from supporters earlier in the campaign

Juventus are understood to remain interested in a deal to sign the goalkeeper, while there has been interest from clubs in his homeland, including Flamengo.

Asked whether he had spoken to the hierarchy himself about a new deal, Alisson said: "No, but my agent is talking with the club."

Liverpool signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia last summer but the Georgian goalkeeper has been unable to oust Alisson as number one. The veteran remains the club's first-choice and said he's keen to extend a decorated career at Anfield.

"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."
