Alisson agent confirms deal renewal after Saudi Arabia transfer interest in Liverpool goalkeeper

Via echo

Alisson Becker has extended his contract with Neis World Sports which will see the agency continue to represent the Liverpool goalkeeper

The Brazilian remains with the representatives that have been connected with the Becker family for over two decades.

Alisson has three years remaining on his current deal after extending his contract at Anfield in 2021

The shot-stopper has been sidelined with a muscle injury but the Reds haven't felt his absence so sorely after the continued rise of Caoimhin Kelleher.

The Liverpool number one will retain his starting position between the sticks at Anfield but he holds the shirt during an important time for Reds goalkeepers

Kelleher has been linked with a move away from Merseyside in search of first-team minutes, as well as the acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia - which will be completed next summer.

"Renovated," a post on Neis World Sports' Instagram said: "Goalie Alisson Becker has renewed his representation bond with NWS.

"Been over 20 years of walking with the Becker family. Thank you so much for trusting us!"

Alisson's future has also been the subject of speculation amid interest from Saudi Arabia.

However speaking in August, he revealed he turned down an approach from the Middle East in order to remain in the North West.

Alisson

"Yes, they had interest,"

"Why stay? I have a contract and I want to honour my contract and finish my contract here or make a new one. I am really happy here. My family is happy.

"I never got to the point where I was talking about wages and things like this, it was just interest, but when you hear about the numbers the other players are getting you are a little bit attracted. That is normal.

"(But) I never thought about leaving. I had always decided to stay. I have two years plus one - the club’s choice - to stay here at Liverpool.

"So I will not leave now and I never thought about that. When the interest from Saudi came, I cannot close the door on a big deal.

"But my decision was always to stay and focus on the things we can achieve, this new beginning and this new start, and I am really excited about that.

“We are starting fresh with new energy and looking forward to what this season will bring for us."
