Alisson is under contract at Anfield until 2027, but the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili had led to speculation that the former Roma ‘keeper would leave Liverpool in the summer.

Alisson has been the Reds’ first choice since he arrived from Roma in 2018 for £67m, a world-record fee for a goalkeeper at the time.
Since then, the Brazilian has won two Premier League golden gloves and proven time and time again he is one of the world’s best, even scoring a crucial goal to help his side qualify for the Champions League in 2021.
Alisson is Arne Slot’s first-choice goalkeeper
Despite the impressive performances of Caoimhin Kelleher, who has stepped up admirably multiple times in recent years, Alisson remains the clear first-choice for Slot.
Alisson has started in every Premier League and Champions League game he has been available for and has only been rested for FA and Carabao Cup matches.
With eight league clean sheets the Reds no. 1 is only three behind league leader Matz Sels and, after keeping clean sheets in his last two matches, could still claim his third Premier League golden glove this season.
