New Kid on the Block Dominates, Reds' Race is Raffling Out Fast

Liverpool legend in line for surprise new contract Liverpool's performances this season have been way below the standards expected of them. Several members of Arne Slot 's first-team squad have been a fraction of their former selves with some such as Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo being torn into every week. Of course, the fact that Slot has changed the way that he wants his team to play hasn't really helped matters much, especially since the players he has at his disposal don't really fit that style of play.

Despite the Reds' shortcomings this term, there are some members of Liverpool's team who have performed well and have been rewarded for doing so. And now, even though there's still a few months until the transfer window re-opens, decisions are already being made about the future of some Liverpool players. Alisson could be offered another Liverpool contract to keep him at Anfield Although Liverpool have just activated the extension clause in Alisson 's contract , some reports have started to emerge about the Brazilian extending his Anfield stay even more.

At the moment, the 33-year-old is the Reds' number one 'keeper and, without him between the sticks, it feels like Slot has a massive void that needs to be filled. Giorgi Mamardashvili obviously tries his best to fill the gap but when the Georgian is played over Alisson the difference in quality is obvious. So that's why it's hardly a surprise to see an update from TEAMtalk stating that Liverpool could end up offering Alisson an entirely new contract before his current one expires in June 2027.

"As previously revealed, Liverpool have now activated their option in Alisson ’s contract," the online outlet wrote. "Sources indicate the 33-year-old could even be offered a further extension to prolong his stay at Anfield. " Liverpool must do their best to keep Alisson and Giorgi Mamardashvili happy Although Alisson further extending his Liverpool stay would be beneficial for most parties, the one person who'd not be a massive fan of the deal would be Mamardashvili.
