Alisson tells Liverpool he wants 'to stay' ahead of 2027 contract decision
Ciaran McCarthy
Alisson has told Liverpool that he "wants to stay" in a reveal on his future ahead of his contract expiring in the summer of 2027.
Alisson one of the last big names of the previous Liverpool generation left. Long-serving Reds stars Sadio Mane, Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah have all departed in recent years.
Virgil van Dijk and Alisson are the only two left, and both of their contracts are expiring at the end of the season.
The threat surrounding the goalkeeper's exit was evident in the summer, when Juventus were in for him. Since then, Liverpool signed Lucca Brughmans and sent him back on loan to former club Genk.
That means they'd have Brughmans and Giorgi Mamardashvili as their goalkeepers were Alisson to leave.
But the Brazilian wants his contract to continue past 2027.
Indeed, he has revealed: "Yes, in my mind. 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."
Asked if he had yet been offered a deal, Alisson said: "No, but my agent is talking with the club."
Insider gives Alisson future latest
Sky Sports insider Vinny O'Connor has detailed the latest on Alisson for the outlet.
He wrote: 'Alisson wants to stay. And at 34 years of age he remains very much Andoni Iraola's number one. Talks over a new deal are ongoing behind the scenes with Alisson's current contract expiring in the summer.
'Similar to Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah's contractual negotiations, Liverpool are not commenting on where they are at with Alisson.
'It should also be remembered that an agreement with both Van Dijk and Salah wasn't reached until a few months before their deals ran out.
'From the club's perspective then, it would make sense to be patient regarding an outcome in Alisson's case.'
