The Story in 60 Seconds

Andoni Iraola has addressed Alisson's future at Liverpool, stating he hopes the Brazilian goalkeeper remains with the club beyond the current season. Alisson's contract was extended earlier this year to keep him at Anfield until 2027, amid reported previous interest from Juventus. Iraola noted that while he has spoken with sporting director Julian Ward, Alisson will ultimately decide his own future.

Iraola also defended the goalkeeper following scrutiny over recent errors in consecutive defeats, including a 1-0 Premier League loss to Arsenal and a 3-2 Champions League defeat against Fenerbahce. Iraola described the conceded goals as messy situations involving multiple players rather than solely Alisson's responsibility.
