Alisson Becker expecting Liverpool to take up contract option
LondoncTypeface:> Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker expects the Premier League champions to extend his contract by an additional year. The Brazil international's current deal at Anfield is due to expire next summer. Alisson, who has made 298 appearances for the Reds since joining from Serie A side Roma in 2018, also intends to one day return to play for Brazilian club Internacional. With long-term understudy Caoimhin Kelleher having completed a transfer to Brentford, the 32-year-old will face competition from Georgia international and former Valencia keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili next season. 'I've never been able to plan long-term,' Alisson told a press conference ahead of his country's World Cup qualifier against Paraguay, according to the Liverpool Echo. 'Obviously now I have one year left on my contract and another year of club option, which they will probably exercise.'
Alisson has won two Premier League titles with Liverpool, in addition to the Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Before moving to Italian football in 2016, he launched his career with Porto Alegre-based Internacional. Neymar, Thiago Silva and former Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho are among the Brazilian stars to have recently returned to play in their homeland following successful spells in Europe. 'I talk to athletes who have made this move to return, some have had good experiences, others not,' said Alisson. (PA Media/dpa)

Netherlands beat Finland 2-0 to enjoy good start to World Cup qualifier
PA Media/dpa London The Netherlands opened their World Cup qualification campaign with a 2-0 win over Finland in Helsinki. Ronald Koeman's side - beaten in the Nations League quarter-finals by Spain on penalties - took an early lead through Memphis Depay in the sixth minute. The Corinthians striker latched on to a stray backpass from Kaan Kairinen to slot in his 48th international goal and close to within two of Robin van Persie's all-time record. Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries added a second before the break, converting a floated ball to the back post from Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo. Group G's bottom side Malta picked up their first point after battling to a 0-0 draw against Lithuania at the Ta'Qali National Stadium. England laboured to a 1-0 win over Andorra in Barcelona to maintain their 100 per cent start to Group K. Captain Harry Kane make the breakthrough early in the second half, but the expected goals onslaught did not follow leaving new boss Thomas Tuchel facing more questions despite a third straight win. Serbia began their qualifying campaign with a 0-0 draw away to Balkans rivals Albania in Tirana. Albania saw a penalty from Rey Manaj saved by Serbia keeper Djordje Petrovic in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Bosnia and Herzegovina kept up their perfect record in Group H as Edin Dzeko's second-half goal gave them a 1-0 win over minnows San Marino in Zenica for a third victory.

Tielemans was a fixture in Unai Emery's Villa side that reached the quarter-finals last season. But Villa will be playing Europa League football next term after finishing sixth in the Premier League. 'I feel good at Villa. I feel a lot of confidence from the club and the coach,' Belgium midfielder Tielemans said at a press conference ahead of the Red Devils' World Cup qualifier against Wales in Brussels. 'I was constantly at a very high level and was very involved in Villa's game. I have made progress in all areas. 'Does that make me think about a transfer? Nothing is ruled out, but I am not really thinking about that. 'I am doing well at Villa. I feel a lot of confidence from the club and the coach.' The 28-year-old added: 'It has been a long and tough season, but I still feel good and am ready to play. 'In Skopje (against North Macedonia) I did not really feel the fatigue, because I was on the bench for a large part of the match.' Wales top the group with seven points from three games after beating Liechtenstein 3-0 at home. Belgium began their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against North Macedonia on Friday.
