Alisson Set to Stay at Liverpool as World Cup Nears

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker talked about his future at Liverpool. He said he plans to stay with the Premier League champions as the World Cup approaches.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Alisson has a year left on his Liverpool contract, with an option for an extra year. He thinks the team will extend his contract. The 32-year-old is focusing on his duties at Anfield. He knows this is an important time for him with the World Cup coming. Despite interest from Saudi clubs like Al Nassr, Alisson is committed to his journey with Liverpool.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool has been planning for the future by signing goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili earlier this year. But this doesn’t mean Alisson is leaving soon. He has been key to Liverpool’s success. He helped them win the Premier League this season—Liverpool’s second title in five years after Jurgen Klopp left.

If Liverpool extends Alisson’s contract, he’ll earn about £150,000 a week until 2027. Others like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk have also committed to the club recently.

WHAT ALISSON SAID BEFORE

Alisson has stayed loyal to Liverpool despite big offers from Saudi Arabia. Last year, he told The Times: “I want to honor my contract here or even make a new one.” He knows Liverpool’s plan to sign Mamardashvili is smart, saying: “The club needs to prepare for the future. I’m getting old. But for a goalkeeper, I’m still young and have much to give to this club.”

WHAT’S NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?

With Alisson likely to stay another season, Liverpool can focus on their title defense knowing they’re strong in goal. They start the 2025/26 Premier League season as champions, hoping to build on their success. For Alisson, this is a big career moment with the World Cup coming. He aims to lead Brazil to victory while keeping high standards for his club.

Liverpool’s signing of Mamardashvili shows they are planning for a smooth future when Alisson eventually leaves. But for now, Alisson is focused on winning more trophies for Liverpool while also getting ready for international games.
