Liverpool Fc Trigger Contract Extension To Keep Alisson Until 2027 – Sources
Liverpool Fc have triggered the 12-month option to extend goalkeeper Alisson Becker’s contract, keeping him at the club through the end of the 2026-27 season. The move secures the Brazilian’s immediate future at the club while his fitness is monitored ahead of a Premier League trip.
Liverpool Fc Extend Alisson’s Deal Through 2026-27
The club activated the 12-month option on Alisson’s contract, which had been due to expire this summer, meaning he is now under contract until the end of the 2026-27 campaign. That ensures Liverpool will be able to call on his experience in goal for another season.
Alisson joined the club from Roma in 2018 under then-manager Jürgen Klopp. Alongside centre-back Virgil van Dijk he has been a key pillar of the sides that won the Champions League and the Premier League, and his extension keeps that leadership in place as the team finishes the season.
Injury Update And Availability For Tottenham
The goalkeeper missed the recent Champions League defeat in Istanbul to Galatasaray after sustaining a minor problem in training. Head coach Arne Slot has said he is hopeful the 33-year-old will be fit enough to return for Sunday’s visit of Tottenham, while noting some uncertainty around final decisions.
Slot has urged his squad to “get the maximum” out of the remainder of the season and stressed the challenge of converting training and matches into the best possible results as the campaign concludes.
Transfer Talk, Succession Questions And Long-Term Plans
The contract activation reduces immediate speculation about Alisson’s availability on the open market. Interest from major clubs in Italy had been mentioned in coverage, and the club’s decision to extend keeps his situation settled for at least another year. The arrival of a new goalkeeper last summer has been noted alongside the club’s broader goalkeeping plans.
Separately, Alisson has previously outlined a personal plan to return to Brazil before the end of his career and rejoin his boyhood club Internacional. He has said he wants that move to happen while still playing at a high level, indicating that while he will remain at the club through 2027 he sees a return home as part of his longer-term plans.
With his contract now extended and his fitness being assessed ahead of the upcoming league fixture, Liverpool will rely on Alisson’s experience down the run-in as the manager and squad aim to extract the best from the remainder of the season.
