Iraola Says Alisson's Future Depends on the Player

Andoni Iraola, Liverpool's manager, has commented on Alisson Becker's future, expressing his hope that the Brazilian goalkeeper will continue his contract with the team. This year, the club exercised an option to extend his contract by another year, keeping Alisson at the club until the summer of 2027. However, reports suggest that Juventus showed interest during the last summer transfer window.

Iraola admitted that he has spoken with Julian Ward, the sporting director, regarding Alisson's future, but decided that it is a matter for the player to consider himself. He stated, "I hope he stays with us, but when it comes to contracts, it’s a matter for the player and the club."

In the last two matches, Alisson has faced scrutiny following Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal and a 3-2 loss to Fenerbahce. In the game against Arsenal, a poor pass led to Kai Havertz's winning goal, while in the match against Fenerbahce, there was unclear communication with Cody Gakpo.

Iraola remarked, "We cannot blame just one player for these mistakes. It’s a messy situation, and even though we made errors, we had many players involved."
