Alexis Mac Allister admits he didn't rate Alisson Becker amongst 'the best' goalkeepers in the world until after becoming his Liverpool teammate.

The South American duo found themselves as foes at both club and international level before striking up a strong friendship on Merseyside.

Mac Allister joined Liverpool for £35m from Brighton in summer 2023.

Well, ok, you, Dibu [Martinez] and [Thibaut] Courtois."

Part of Liverpool's transfer business since Arne Slot has entered as head coach has been to fix in place the succession plan to the Reds' goalkeeper of seven years.

Obviously now I have one year left on my contract and another year of club option, which they will probably exercise," he explained.

For now a decision has not been made so he and his teammates do not know whether they will continue together beyond 2026.

With that, Mac Allister added that the goalkeeper has that time to fulfil a personal promise.

"He hasn't invited me to his house for a BBQ yet, so he has this season ahead to keep to his word," says the Argentine.
