Alisson Becker has revealed he is "happy to stay" at Liverpool beyond the end of the season and said his agent is in talks with the club over his future.
Alisson is in his ninth season at Anfield but is currently set to walk away as a free agent when his contract expires next June.
The goalkeeper was linked with a move away from Merseyside in the summer, with Juventus among his suitors, however he has now admitted that he would be open to penning a new deal.
"Yes, in my mind," Alisson said when asked if he wants to stay at the club. "I'm focused on playing every game but in my mind I'm happy to stay. You know, that depends on a lot of aspects and different situations. But my will is to stay. I'm happy here, my family is happy here. I'm still hungry for titles and for delivering good performances. I still want to play at the top level for as long as I can. So that's my thinking on that."
Asked whether he has held any discussions with the Liverpool hierarchy over a new contract, the Brazil international added: "No. My agent is talking with the club."
Alisson is one of the few Liverpool players who will not be reporting for international duty this week, with Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti having opted to rest him for upcoming friendlies against Japan and Singapore.
"It is beneficial, for sure," the 34-year-old said. "You have to use it right because you have a lot of time so if you don't train, if you don't prepare, time goes really quick and you need to stay sharp. It's not that I will sit on the couch for a week and then come back training. I still have to work hard but in my mind I can use the time to relax and be more with my family.
"It's a little bit against my will. What I always want is to be with the national team but I understand this is what I have at the moment and I will use this time and take the benefit from the rest."
Alisson was Liverpool's standout performer in the 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, making a string of crucial saves at Selhurst Park. The win moves Andoni Iraola's side up to fourth in the Premier League table but Alisson believes it will take time for the team to reach their full potential under their new head coach.
"I think you have to manage all of the situations," the goalkeeper said. "When you are doing well, you need to control a little bit the excitement so you don't get overexcited. Our reality is that we're not doing as well as we can. It doesn't mean that we are not doing well -- we are doing well in so many games -- but the consistency is not there yet. The moment for us is to control the frustration that the defeats bring and stay with a clear mind and looking for the quality in our team.

"We have a top manager, top players. We are capable of great things but as a team we need to get to a point where we feel: 'We are okay now. We have the confidence. We have everything that's needed to win.'
"We are building that. I hope we get there really quick but it takes time. We have to be patient but we players, in our mind, we don't have time to waste. We want to win, we want to be Premier League champions, Champions League champions, League Cup champions, FA Cup champions. We want to win everything with this club because this is special and it's what we're here for."
