A number of Liverpool supporters have been expressing their delight at the news that Alisson is set to sign a new long-term deal at Anfield.

The Brazilian has been a colossal figure for the Reds since joining from Roma in 2018, proving to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world, as evidenced by winning The Best FIFA Goalkeeper two years ago.

Alisson's arrival coincided with Liverpool winning both the Champions League and the Premier League, with his consistency between the sticks playing a huge role in those successes. He kept 21 league clean sheets in his first season at Anfield, conceding just 22 top-flight goals in an ever-present campaign (Transfermarkt).

Not only that, but the 28-year-old even heroically scored a winning goal in the dying seconds at West Brom last season, further etching his name into Reds folklore.

The hope is that Alisson remains a Liverpool player for the rest of his career, and according to journalist Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, he is on the verge of extending his stay to 2026. Discussions are thought to be in the 'final stages', in what would represent a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp.
