Alisson Becker drops MAJOR Liverpool future hint after goalkeeper signing
Alisson Becker has dropped a major hint over his future. The Brazilian spoke publicly after Liverpool signed two goalkeepers.
Liverpool signed another goalkeeper this week, bringing in Hungarian wonderkid Armin Pecsi. The 20-year-old is one of the brightest prospects in Europe and the Reds have snapped him up.

It's a signing that puts a spotlight on the current crop of goalkeepers, notably Alisson Becker. Now, Pecsi certainly isn't taking over from Alisson immediately - for one, Giorgi Mamardashvili is next in line.
But it's a signing that shows Liverpool are now thinking about life after Alisson. That's inevitable with a maximum of two years left on the Brazilian's contract.
And for what it's worth, Alisson is also thinking about life after Liverpool. He spoke publicly this week about his future - and there's certainly a plan in place.
Of sorts.
Alisson Becker on his future
"I talk to players who mad the move [back to Brazil]", Alisson told a press conference. "Some had positive experiences, others did not.
"I do want to return to Brazilian football, especially with Inter [Internacional, Alisson's former club]. I don't know when that will happen.
"I want to come back and still be at a high level. That's what I have in terms of a plan - if that is a plan."
It's the 'still be at a high level' part that really stands out here as it means Alisson will hope to make the move home within around four or five years. Maybe that means another Liverpool contract, or maybe that means taking a big-money deal post-Anfield and then heading back to Brazil.

What we do know, then, is that Alisson certainly won't retire as a Liverpool player. He's got plans in place (sort of) and there's a while to go yet.
