Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker wants to stay at the club beyond the end of the season, when his current contract expires.

The 34-year-old joined from Roma for £66.8m in 2018 and has made 347 appearances for the Reds.

“Yes [I want to stay], in my mind. I’m focused on playing every game but in my mind I’m happy to stay,” said Alisson.

“That depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay – I’m happy here and my family is happy here.

“I’m still hungry for titles and to delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can, so that’s my thinking.”

Last week, Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola said he did not know if this would be Alisson’s last season at the club but hoped the goalkeeper could “continue for more time”.

Asked if he has had conversations over a new deal, Alisson said: “No, but my agent is talking with the club.”

The Brazil keeper did consider a move to Juventus earlier this year but ultimately chose to stay at Anfield.

After a difficult week – with Liverpool losing to Arsenal and then Fenerbahce – Alisson made a number of crucial saves in Sunday’s win at Crystal Palace.

The goalkeeper says Liverpool now need to find consistency in order to challenge for silverware.

“Our reality is that we’re not doing as well as we can. It doesn’t mean that we are not doing well – we are doing well in so many games – but the consistency is not there yet,” he said.
