BBC Sport says Alisson Becker wants to remain at Liverpool beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires. Alisson said his agent is talking with the club about a new deal.
Alisson says he wants to stay
After Liverpool lost to Arsenal and Fenerbahce, Alisson made a number of crucial saves in Sunday's away win at Crystal Palace. He said: “Yes, in my mind. I'm focused on playing every game but in my mind I'm happy to stay”
Alisson added: “That depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay - I'm happy here and my family is happy here. I'm still hungry for titles and to delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can, so that's my thinking.”
New-deal discussions
Asked if he has had conversations over a new deal, Alisson said: “No, but my agent is talking with the club.”
BBC Sport says Alisson considered a move to Juventus earlier but chose to stay at Liverpool.
Iraola on the goalkeeper's future
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola said he did not know if this would be Alisson's last season at the club but hoped the goalkeeper could continue for more time. He said: “continue for more time”
Alisson was named as one of Iraola's vice-captains at the start of the season.
Liverpool's defensive figures and squad changes
BBC Sport says Liverpool have kept four clean sheets in 10 Premier League games this season and conceded 10 goals in four Champions League matches. Alisson has played every minute in both competitions so far.
Virgil van Dijk's contract is set to expire at the end of the season. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson have left Liverpool, while Lucca Brughmans will move to Liverpool from Genk in the summer.
Alisson said: “Our reality is that we're not doing as well as we can. It doesn't mean that we are not doing well - we are doing well in so many games - but the consistency is not there yet. We have a top manager, top players. We are capable of great things but as a team we need to get to a point where we feel: 'We are OK now. We have the confidence. We have everything that's needed to win.' We are building that. I hope we get there really quick but it takes time. We have to be patient but as players, in our mind, we don't have time to waste.”
