Alisson Becker on the verge of signing new Liverpool contract
According to reliable Italian journalist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Alisson Becker is close to signing a new contract at Liverpool.
The goalkeeper was signed from AS Roma for a massive £65million fee in 2018. He signed a six-year contract that expires in the summer of 2024, but Liverpool want to extend that even further.
According to Romano, the new deal stretches his stay at Anfield until 2026, with the final formalities of the deal being agreed upon in the upcoming weeks.
“Liverpool are set to complete the agreement with Alisson to extend his contract until June 2026. The agreement is at final stages. #LFC Final details and clauses expected to be fixed in the next weeks, then Alisson will sign his contract extension with #LFC.”
Alisson to stay until 2026
This comes as welcome news for Liverpool fans as Alisson is an irreplaceable part of the squad. He is the undisputed No.1 at the club and is in the prime years of his career.
It was only after the Reds signed him from AS Roma that they won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He was at his very best in the 2018/19 season.
During that campaign, Alisson became the first goalkeeper to win three Golden Gloves in one season. He kept the most clean sheets in the Premier League with 21, the Champions League, as well as Copa America. (h/t The Daily Mail)
The former Internacional stopper gave Liverpool fans one of the most amazing moments in the history of the Premier League when he scored a last-minute winner against West Bromwich Albion.

The Reds were chasing the top 4 and his goal played a big role in switching the momentum in Liverpool’s favour. Fans would say that he deserves a new deal for that moment alone, but Alisson’s overall impact on the field makes this a much-needed and timely potential contract extension.
