Overview
- On Friday several outlets reported that Liverpool expect Alisson Becker’s contract to run out at the end of the season and are preparing to sign a replacement.
- Sources say the club have checked Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki as one of the external options being scouted.
- Giorgi Mamardashvili remains at Liverpool and has played well when called on, but he is not currently seen as the settled long-term successor and Lucca Brughmans is due to arrive in 2027.
- Alisson’s recent high-profile mistakes, including failing to claim a looping ball that led to Fenerbahce’s late winner and a misdirected pass against West Ham, have increased internal concern and helped trigger contingency planning.
- Reports add that interest from clubs in Italy and Brazil for Alisson could accelerate Liverpool’s recruitment timetable and influence whether the club acts in January or waits until the summer.
