Catch all the latest Liverpool transfer news, including updates on Alisson Becker's contract situation and a possible decision on Ronald Araujo with the Reds

The November international break has arrived, but the work at Liverpool doesn't stop, as the club continues to look at possible ways to improve under Andoni Iraola.

While the manager will be looking to make those improvements on the training pitch during the two-week spell away, the recruitment team will also be hard at work to find external options who could make a tangible difference to the team moving forward.

That may include moves for the upcoming January transfer window or possible long-term interests for the summer transfer window, while some internal thoughts will also surround several key contract situations. So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of yet another day of action for the Reds.

Alisson (Liverpool)

Liverpool star Alisson Becker has confirmed that his agent is in talks with the club about his future, as the goalkeeper nears the final few months of his contract, which expires next summer. Speaking to Liverpool.com and a group of reporters after the game against Crystal Palace at the weekend, the Brazilian said: "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."

When pushed about whether conversations were ongoing with Liverpool, he said: "My agent is talking with the club."

Liverpool.com says: Alisson's form has been hit and miss this season, but when he has been called upon, the goalkeeper has largely stepped up when required.

Shot-stoppers can generally play on for longer than outfield players, meaning there may be less risk in offering a deal to the Brazilian compared to other experienced stars in the squad.

There may be some natural concerns about wage demands against performances, especially if Alisson's levels drop off considerably, but it will all be down to negotiations. The only other consideration may be the players behind him in his position, with Giorgi Mamardashvili likely expecting to step up at around this point to be the number one.

With months remaining, there is no rush for Liverpool to run in and offer a new deal any time soon, but early conversations are a positive sign that there is movement that can be made.

Ronald Araujo (Barcelona)

Ronald Araujo is waiting to make a decision on his long-term future with Liverpool until the end of the season, according to Spanish outlet Sport.

The Barcelona loanee has impressed with the Reds so far, leading to some reports suggesting a permanent deal could be fast-tracked to January, with a $61 million clause in his loan switch.

However, it would appear as though the Uruguayan international would like to wait before he makes a final decision, while the Merseyside outfit would likely wait until the summer as well, considering the large transfer investment from such a deal.

Liverpool.com says: It's no surprise that all parties involved would like to put a final decision on hold until the summer, as it gives them the maximum amount of time to gather all the necessary information before making a call one way or another.

For Liverpool, there may be a decision to look at other options at right-back or centre-back, which would see the club stray from triggering the permanent deal clause. As for Araujo, he could decide that the club isn't right for him in the long-term, or that he'd prefer to stay at Barcelona.

There may be other scenarios that could appear, which means that everyone involved should wait before making the right decision.
