This is the first time Alisson has discussed his contract situation this season and, judging by the way he spoke after a superb performance at Selhurst Park, there is a clear desire on his part to stay at Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Giorgi Mamardashvili, 26, is waiting in the wings, while highly rated 18-year-old Lucca Brughmans will move to Liverpool<\/a> from Genk in the summer, so Iraola’s side will not be short of goalkeeping options – but it would be a huge call if they do allow Alisson to leave on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

His distribution has not been up to the standard we are used to in recent weeks, and that was ruthlessly punished against Arsenal<\/a>, but the string of saves he made against Palace were a timely reminder that he is still a world-class goalkeeper. <\/p>\n

This season, Liverpool<\/a> have kept four clean sheets in 10 Premier League games but have conceded 10 goals in four Champions League matches, with Alisson playing every minute in both competitions so far. <\/p>\n

He is still a leader within the side and was named as one of Iraola’s vice-captains at the start of the season.<\/p>\n

Alisson did assess his options last season but with senior figures like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson leaving, he opted to proceed with a one-year extension.<\/p>\n

With Virgil van Dijk’s contract also set to expire at the end of the season, sporting director Julian Ward has two very important decisions to make when it comes to the future of two men who have been a constant for Liverpool<\/a> since 2018. <\/p>\n

Of course, both command hefty wages, but this is a young Liverpool<\/a> side trying to find their way under Iraola – and the head coach will be aware of the importance of two experienced players who have been with the club for such a long time.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a one-year extension can be offered to Alisson which could allow Brughmans to learn from the Brazilian but, at 34, he may be looking for the security of something longer term.<\/p>\n

Either way, Liverpool<\/a>‘s hierarchy will have a keen eye on how Alisson fares as the season progresses. If he can carry on performing like he did against Palace, then a new contract will be a no-brainer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is the first time Alisson has discussed his contract situation this season and, judging by the way…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-679544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
