Overview
- This weekend multiple trusted reporters, including Fabrizio Romano, described Alisson’s departure in June 2027 as a 'serious possibility' and said Liverpool are preparing for that outcome.
- Club sources tell Football Insider and others that Liverpool have opened formal scouting and 'homework' on goalkeepers rather than relying solely on internal options.
- Brighton’s 24‑year‑old Bart Verbruggen has emerged as a leading external target because of his Premier League form, but any move would face strong competition and a high asking price from Brighton.
- Insiders and transfer writers report doubts about whether Giorgi Mamardashvili is ready to be the unquestioned long‑term No.1, which is driving Liverpool to assess experienced options such as Diogo Costa and younger alternatives like Zion Suzuki.
- The decision will hinge on contract talks with Alisson, transfer cost and competition, and Liverpool’s aim to avoid losing an elite, experienced keeper without a clear, immediately ready replacement.
