Keeping the Game-Changers: Why Alisson Becker is Crucial to Liverpool’s Future
Sustaining dominance in football hinges on retaining key players, and Liverpool’s Alisson Becker epitomizes this necessity. Since his arrival from AS Roma in 2018, the Brazilian international has been a cornerstone of the Reds’ success.
With his current contract running until 2026—plus an option for a one-year extension—Alisson’s presence remains vital. His contributions were pivotal during Liverpool’s Premier League triumph in the 2024/25 season, where he kept 10 clean sheets across 28 league matches.
Here’s how Alisson compares with other top-flight goalkeepers for clean sheets that season:
Player Games Played Clean Sheets Clean Sheets/Game
David Raya 38 13 0.34
Matz Sels 38 13 0.34
Jordan Pickford 38 12 0.31
Dean Henderson 38 11 0.28
Ederson 26 10 0.38
Alisson Becker 28 10 0.35
Given his consistent performances and invaluable leadership, Alisson Becker is more than just a goalkeeper—he’s a linchpin for Liverpool’s ongoing success. The club must ensure he remains a vital part of their plans for years to come.
There’s no doubt that Liverpool’s No.1 should remain a cornerstone of the team for the foreseeable future.
Of course, Giorgi Mamardashvili—signed last year—might challenge that notion within the next two years.
For now, however, it’s hard to imagine anyone objectively claiming there’s a better goalkeeper in world football than Alisson at the moment. His own confidence in his ability to perform at the highest level remains unwavering, as reflected in recent comments shared by Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter).

Planning for the Future: Alisson Becker and Liverpool’s Goalkeeping Evolution
As a goalkeeper, Alisson Becker’s career longevity means there’s no reason for alarm at the AXA Training Centre if he’s still wearing Liverpool colors come the summer of 2027. By then, he’ll only be 34—an age where many top-level keepers continue to thrive.
However, the prospect of a return to Brazil remains on the horizon. Alisson has already expressed his desire to rejoin his former club, Internacional, at some point in his career. “I want to return, especially to Inter. I don’t know when it will happen, but I still want to do it at a high level. That’s what I have planned,” he shared in remarks quoted by the Echo.
The end of his current contract could prompt serious reflection, especially with Giorgi Mamardashvili poised to stake his claim as Liverpool’s future No.1. Additionally, the club has further bolstered its goalkeeping ranks by securing the services of highly-rated Hungarian talent, Armin Pecsi.
With such careful succession planning, it’s clear Liverpool is well-prepared for life after Alisson. Yet, here at Empire of the Kop, we’re in no hurry to see the day when our beloved shot-stopper hangs up his gloves for the Reds.
