Alisson has made it clear that he wants to remain a Liverpool player, but reliable journalist David Lynch has now made a big claim regarding his future.

On Monday, quotes from the Brazilian emerged [via This Is Anfield] saying he wants to stay at Anfield, and that his agent is in talks over a contract extension:

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

“My agent is talking with the club.”

Now, speaking to Anfield Index [via Rousing the Kop], Lynch has dropped a big twist, saying he fully expects Alisson to leave Liverpool at the end of the season:

“I’d be just quite frankly amazed if he stays because he’s out of contract at the end of the season. There’s just no way Liverpool are going to hand him another one given the injury history.

“He was fantastic yesterday [against Palace], but in general we’re seeing a decline in the performances of that absolutely incredible level he used to be at. Liverpool are not going to be tripping over themselves to give Alisson a new contract, so I would expect him to depart at the end of the season, absolutely.”

Liverpool would be foolish to let Alisson leave

This update from Lynch comes as something of a shock, given the previously positive news from the player himself, and it would be an enormous shame to see him depart in 2027.

The 34-year-old showed in Sunday’s 3-1 win away to Crystal Palace that he remains one of the Reds’ most important players, and for a goalkeeper, he is still far from old.

If Alisson wants to remain a Liverpool player, it simply makes no sense not to offer him a contract extension, with Jurgen Klopp once describing him as “world-class”, which he has been for many years.

Hopefully, Lynch’s claim proves to be wrong, but it does act as a concern.
