Liverpool reportedly want Alisson Becker to stay at the club until the expiry of his contract in 2027, but may not get their way.The Brazilian’s future has been a hot topic as the 2025/26 season draws to a close, with plenty of rumours suggesting that he could leave to join former coach Luciano Spalletti at Juventus.Thankfully, Liverpool have rebuffed interest in Alisson, triggering a year’s extension on his contract and informing him that they want to keep him at the club. Has Konate lived up to his potential, or does he leave having not quite reached it?

Liverpool ‘formally’ ask Alisson to stayIf Alisson is to make an escape from Liverpool this summer, then it will clearly come against the club’s wishes.Reiterating Pearce’s claims, journalist Fabrizio Romano shared an update on the goalkeeper’s situation on Friday afternoon, revealing that Liverpool have ‘formally told’ Alisson that they want him to stay for the final year of his contract.“Liverpool have formally told Alisson they want him to stay and continue at the club next season,” Romano posted to X.“Plan since last week confirmed as LFC do not want to lose another experienced key part of the squad this summer.”Given their relationship, it is hard to see Alisson defying Liverpool and pushing to leave.
