Liverpool 'preparing to open contract talks with Alisson Becker'

Liverpool are reportedly planning to begin contract discussions with goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

The 28-year-old has made 130 appearances for the Reds since arriving from Roma in 2018, winning the Champions League and Premier League during his time at Anfield.

Alisson still has more than three years left to run on his contract with the Merseyside giants, meaning that there is no immediate rush to address the stopper's future.

However, according to BBC Sport, Jurgen Klopp's side are preparing to open contract talks with the Brazil international once he returns to the club for pre-season.

Alisson, who famously scored a header against West Bromwich Albion in May as Liverpool chased a top-four spot in the Premier League, is currently away with his country preparing for the Copa America.

The goalkeeper ended the 2020-21 campaign with 15 clean sheets in 42 appearances for the Reds, conceding 41 times during a difficult season for the club.
