Alisson gives up plans to leave and wants a new Liverpool deal

Alisson has abandoned the idea of leaving Liverpool when his contract expires at the end of the 2026-2027 season and is moving closer to an extension. The Brazilian goalkeeper had attracted interest from clubs in his country, including Flamengo, but his preference is now to continue with the Reds. Discussions between the player and the club are ongoing.

The matter is not yet settled. The goalkeeper’s high salary is one obstacle, as is the difficulty of reaching a full agreement with his former club in Rio de Janeiro. Alisson, who previously played for Roma, has nevertheless made his desire to stay and renew his contract clear. A new deal therefore still depends on resolving those issues.

His wish to continue comes as Liverpool sit fourth in the Premier League on 18 points after 10 matches. The club have won five, drawn three and lost two, scoring 14 goals and conceding 10. In their last five league games, Liverpool have recorded three wins and two defeats, with no draws. Those figures place the club in the upper part of the table as talks with Alisson continue.

The goalkeeper summed up his position plainly: “Yes, I want to stay. I am grateful to play every match and, in my mind, I am happy to stay.” He also acknowledged that the decision depended on “different aspects and situations”, before explaining: “my desire is to stay, because I am happy here and my family is too.” Alisson added that he is “always hungry for titles and good performances” and wants to play at the highest level for as long as possible.

His attachment reflects a lengthy spell with the Reds. Since joining them in 2018, he has made more than 350 appearances, won two Premier League titles and lifted the Champions League as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper. An extension would continue a partnership already marked by those successes, provided the parties can overcome the remaining obstacles.
