Liverpool Pause Alisson Contract Talks as Succession Review Continues
Liverpool will delay talks to judge whether Alisson remains the best long-term option for the club.
Overview
- Reports on Thursday say Liverpool have not opened formal contract talks with Alisson and expect to delay negotiations until later in the season.
- The club activated a one-year extension earlier in 2026 that keeps Alisson under contract for 2026/27 while it buys time to assess the keeper situation.
- Alisson, who turns 34 next month, has started every match this season and remains first choice despite recent hamstring problems that shape the club’s caution.
- Liverpool will evaluate Giorgi Mamardashvili and teenage prospect Lucca Brughmans across the campaign as possible long-term successors to Alisson.
- Juventus could renew interest because of injuries to their goalkeeping ranks, and Liverpool face the risk of losing Alisson on a free next summer if no new deal is agreed.
