Alisson Becker’s agent has confirmed talks are already underway with Liverpool over a new contract after the goalkeeper made it clear he would like to stay at Anfield.
Alisson’s contract is due to expire at the end of the current season, with the Brazilian one of two big-name players who could end up leaving next summer - club captain Virgil van Dijk is also due to be out of contract in 2027.
Liverpool took up an option on Alisson’s contract earlier this year to extend his stay at Anfield by a further year. Despite that, the 34-year-old was the subject of intense transfer speculation throughout the summer, with Juventus having been chasing his signature.
Alisson did indeed stay, and with just months now remaining on his deal, he has made it clear he would like to stay put for even longer.
"Yes, in my mind," Alisson told reporters after Sunday’s win over Crystal Palace when asked if he wants to extend his deal.
"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."
Alisson went on to reveal that his representatives are in talks with Liverpool over a new deal. The goalkeeper’s agent, Ze Maria, has now provided an update to WinWin, confirming those discussions are at an early stage.
"Alisson loves Liverpool very much. We are in preliminary talks to renew the contract,” Ze Maria said.
News of Alisson’s talks over a new deal comes after Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola indicated that he wants the keeper to remain at Anfield beyond this season.

Liverpool FC have launched their new home kit for the 2026/27, inspired by iconic adidas strip worn during the club's 1989/90 title-winning campaign.
The Reds already look to have taken steps towards the future in goal, having signed 18-year-old Lucca Brughmans in the summer a year after 21-year-old Armin Pecsi joined the club. Iraola is keen to hold on to his most experienced option though.
"I don’t know (if this will be Alisson's last season)," Iraola admitted last week. "That is a question you have to ask him.
"I hope not. I hope he continues with us for more time. But when you ask me about contracts and these situations, it is a matter for the players and the club.
"Yes, we have continuous conversations with (sporting director) Julian Ward, but I cannot tell you everything. We talk between us."
