This article was updated on 26 September 2026. It reflects the latest position on Alisson Becker’s contract. The Alisson Liverpool contract picture has shifted this week. Liverpool have triggered a 12-month extension clause to keep their goalkeeper at Anfield. The years beyond that stay open. This update builds on our original options facing the Reds analysis, revisiting the picture as the new season goes on.
Alisson contract extension updated position
Liverpool used a clause written into Alisson’s existing deal. It extends his contract by another 12 months. The decision keeps the Brazilian goalkeeper at the club through to the end of the 2026-27 season.
He turns 33 during 2026. Many goalkeepers are still playing their best football at that age. Alisson has already won the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool, and he remains the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.
The extension also closed off outside interest before it could grow. Juventus explored signing Alisson. Liverpool shut the approach down immediately, leaving no doubt about his status this season.
The options facing Liverpool and Alisson Becker
Liverpool’s planning for the goalkeeping position looks well beyond Alisson’s current contract. Giorgi Mamardashvili arrived specifically to become the long-term number one. He is yet to play a single competitive minute for Liverpool.
Read Liverpool F.C. has previously reported that Emi Martinez is among the established names discussed as part of the club’s wider succession planning. That reporting reflects internal thinking about the position. It is not a confirmed approach for any transfer.
Alisson himself has spoken openly about his affection for Internacional, the Brazilian club where his career began. A return remains an option raised in conversation. It is not a confirmed plan for after his Liverpool contract ends.
Will Alisson Becker stay at Liverpool past 2027?
Liverpool have completed one contract extension. No decision has been confirmed on what happens after the 2026-27 season. Whether Alisson stays past 2027 remains unresolved, and his known links to Internacional add genuine uncertainty rather than any clear signal either way.
The current deal secures his services only until the end of that season. Nothing in the public record confirms a further extension. Equally, nothing confirms he will leave.
His bond with Internacional keeps a future return in the conversation. That is not the same as an agreed exit. For now, the Alisson Liverpool contract question beyond 2027 stays open, shaped by his form, his age and the progress of his understudy.
What happens next in Liverpool’s goalkeeping succession
Liverpool’s succession plan depends heavily on Mamardashvili gaining real match experience. He was signed for exactly this role. Yet he remains without a single competitive appearance for the club, so his adaptation is still to begin in earnest.
Martinez’s name continues to surface in Read Liverpool F.C.’s reporting on long-term goalkeeping planning. Nothing suggests an active move toward signing him. Liverpool have not set out any public timetable for handing over the gloves, so no exact date should be assumed.
Supporters can follow the picture matchday to matchday. Our coverage of the away win at Bournemouth and the confirmed team news selection that preceded it both add useful context on how Liverpool’s goalkeeping picture is playing out week to week.
