His agent, Ze Maria Neis, confirmed the renewal, which prevents the 33-year-old from entering the final year of his deal this summer. Despite heavy interest from Juventus, where Luciano Spalletti is reportedly keen on a reunion, the club\u2019s decision to trigger the clause signals their intent to retain him as the primary No. 1, even with Giorgi Mamardashvili in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham Injury Update<\/p>\n<p>Alisson remains a doubt for today\u2019s 16:30 GMT kick-off against Spurs at Anfield. He missed the midweek defeat to Galatasaray due to a &#8220;minor&#8221; muscle tweak felt while passing during training. Arne Slot stated on Friday that he is &#8220;hopeful&#8221; Alisson can return, but a late fitness test will determine if he starts or if Mamardashvili continues in goal. If he misses out, Slot expects him back &#8220;definitely&#8221; for the Champions League second leg on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool could see a star return to the team today.
