Liverpool have triggered a one-year extension to Alissonâs contract until 2027 but reports surfacing from have suggested could target the international this summer.

âI am only focused on the short-term future and that is getting him back into goal as soon as possible,â Slot said. âThe answer is going to be that all these rumours that are out there about him and about probably me and about others, we donât react to rumours in this room, also not in my conversations with Richard [Hughes, the sporting director].
âWe only react when facts need to be told and that is not the situation at the moment. The main focus for Ali is very clear, that is getting back in goal as soon as possible for the club he loves to play for and then he wants to be in goal for the country he wants to play for, that is Brazil. I think that is already the short and mid-term future.â
