Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has cast doubt on goalkeeper Alisson Becker's future at Anfield, admitting he's uncertain if the star will sign a new contract.
The Brazilian international is entering the final year of his current deal, and recent performances, including costly errors against Arsenal and Fenerbahce, have sparked speculation about the club considering a long-term replacement. Links to Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki have already emerged, according to TEAMtalk.
Iraola confessed he's not privy to the specifics of Alisson's contract situation. "I don’t know if this will be Alisson's last season, that is a question you have to ask him," the manager stated, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. "I hope not, I hope he continues with us for more time. But, when you ask me about contracts and these situations, it is a matter for the players and the club."
The uncertainty surrounding Alisson, who has been a key figure for Liverpool, presents a dilemma for the club and its fanbase. While some might see it as an opportune moment to transition, given the goalkeeper's age and recent form, others may advocate for retaining a club legend who could still offer several more years at the highest level.
