Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s agent Zé Maria has provided an update about his future with the Premier League side.
The Brazil international has been the No.1 since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in a €72.5m deal in July 2018.
Last summer, Giorgi Mamardashvili arrived at Anfield, and the expectation was for him to replace Alisson. That didn’t happen, and the 34-year-old has retained his place even under Andoni Iraola.
In the summer, Sport Witness covered a report from Italy about Juventus’ interest, but he decided against returning to the Serie A.
The South American has a contract expiring in June, and this hasn’t gone unnoticed in his home country. Sport Witness recently reported that Flamengo have included the stopper in their target list for 2027.
Alisson Becker now has other plans and has publicly expressed his desire to continue at Anfield beyond this season.

The Liverpool star’s agent has been speaking to WinWin and confirmed working behind the scenes to extend his stay with the Reds. The representative also reveals talks with the Merseyside club.
He said: “Alisson loves Liverpool very much. We are in preliminary talks regarding a contract renewal.”
WinWin also points out Sport Witness’ report about Flamengo’s interest in the former AS Roma man.
Although Alisson Becker and his agent have gone public with their desire to stay, it’s not a certainty that he will sign an extension. The Premier League side will have the final say, and their decision is still pending.
He turned 34 years of age in October, and if Liverpool were to offer him a new deal, it would most likely be until 2028.
This season, the Brazilian kept four clean and conceded 20 goals in 14 matches for the Reds this season.
Since joining Liverpool, he kept 141 clean sheets and let in 326 goals in 347 matches. That’s an average of conceding less than a goal per game.
