London (AFP) - Brazilian international goalkeeper Alisson Becker is looking to continue the journey with his current team, Liverpool, beyond the end of the current season, calling on the “Reds” management to sign a new contract with him.

Alisson played a pivotal role in Liverpool winning the English Premier League title in 2020 and 2025 and the Champions League in 2019, since he joined the team from Roma in 2018.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper played 347 matches in the “Reds” shirt, winning a total of seven titles so far.
Alisson's contract expires at the end of the current season, and his name has been linked to departure in the recent period, but he expressed his desire to continue his career on Merseyside by signing a new contract.
Alisson said after Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday in the league, "Yes (I want to stay), that's what I'm thinking about. I'm focusing on playing every match, but I'm happy to stay."
He added, "It depends on many different aspects and circumstances. But my desire is to stay. I am happy here and my family is happy here. I am still hungry for titles and to perform at good levels. I still want to play at the highest level for as long as possible, so this is what I am thinking about."
Liverpool's Spanish coach Andoni Iraola recently expressed his hope that the Brazilian goalkeeper would be able to "continue for a longer period" with his team.
Alisson revealed that “my agent is talking to the club” after a summer that witnessed speculation about a possible move to Italian club Juventus.
The veteran goalkeeper confirmed his value again through a distinguished performance that contributed to Liverpool's victory over Palace, but the Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili is awaiting his opportunity as a replacement for Alisson, while the young Belgian goalkeeper Luca Brochmans is expected to join Liverpool from Khank next year.
Alisson said about Liverpool's wobbly start this season, "Our reality is that we are not performing at the level we are capable of. We have not yet reached the required degree of consistency. We have a high-caliber coach and wonderful players. We are capable of achieving big things, but as a team we need to reach a stage where we feel 'that we are fine now, and that we have the confidence and everything it takes to win'."
