Alisson Becker 'on verge of signing new Liverpool contract'

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is reportedly on the verge of penning a new deal with the Anfield outfit.

The Brazil international quickly established himself as Jurgen Klopp's first-choice goalkeeper after arriving from Roma in 2018, racking up 59 clean sheets in 130 games across all competitions.

Alisson's existing deal at Anfield still has another three years left to run, but Liverpool are thought to be keen to tie him down for longer given his importance to the team.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the two parties are now finalising the last details on Alisson's new contract, which will extend his Liverpool stay until the summer of 2026.

Alisson has already won the Champions League and Premier League during his short time at Anfield, and he scored a memorable header against West Bromwich Albion last season.

The former Roma man only turned out twice for Brazil at the Copa America, though, and was on the bench for their final defeat to Argentina.
