Alisson has acknowledged that he doesn’t want speculation about his Liverpool future to overshadow the headlines during a World Cup year,

but he believes the club is likely to trigger the one-year extension option in his contract.

The Brazilian goalkeeper joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018 for what was then a record fee for a keeper. Since then, he has played a key role in the club’s success, helping them win two Premier League titles and the Champions League in his debut season.

Widely considered one of the Premier League’s all-time great goalkeepers, Alisson delivered a standout performance against PSG in Europe earlier this year. His departure would be a significant loss, though he doesn’t anticipate leaving the club anytime soon.

Alisson admitted he doesn’t usually make long-term plans but expects to stay with Liverpool as they continue to progress under new manager Arne Slot. With the 2026 World Cup in the U.S. in his sights, he wants to stay fully focused.

“I’ve never really planned far ahead,” he said. “Right now, I’ve got a year left on my contract, plus an additional year the club can opt into—and I think they probably will. This is a crucial point in my career, with the World Cup coming. I need to stay focused and avoid distractions.”
