With Alisson Becker now into the final year of his contract with Liverpool, it won’t be long before a major decision will need to be made on his future.The goalkeeper – who turns 34 in early October – has just over nine months remaining on his current deal, which sees him earn a weekly wage of £250,000 (Capology).The Brazil international had been linked with a potential move to Juventus earlier this year, rumours which thankfully came to nothing, although overseas clubs will be allowed to approach him about a potential pre-contract deal from January as it stands.No talks yet on new contract for AlissonIn the latest episode of The Athletic’s Walk On podcast, James Pearce explained that there have been no negotiations yet regarding a prospective contract extension for Alisson, with a belief among the relevant parties that it’s ‘too soon’ to enter into discussions.The journalist said of Liverpool’s number 1: “Is he going to still be around next season? We don’t know that at the moment. From what I’ve been told, it’s just too soon on all sides. There’s not been those talks yet.”(Photo by Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
