Alisson: I want to stay at Liverpool

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has said that his contract will end at the close of the season, but that he wants to remain at Anfield. The 34-year-old shot-stopper stood out with several crucial saves in Sunday's Premier League away match at Crystal Palace.

Asked about his future after the game, Alisson replied, "Yes, that's on my mind." According to the goalkeeper, the contract issue depends on many factors, but his real wish is to stay at Liverpool. Alisson said his family is also happy there, and that he still has a hunger to win trophies and perform at a high level.

Despite interest from Juventus, Liverpool used a one-year option in his contract in March, keeping Alisson at the club for the summer. Head coach Andoni Iraola had earlier said he hoped the keeper would stay, but that the decision belonged to the player.

When asked whether he had discussed a new contract with the club, Alisson said his agent had been speaking with Liverpool. Talks over a new deal are continuing away from the public eye.
