Overview
- Reports say Liverpool are doing ‘homework’ on replacements and have tracked Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen and Aston Villa’s Zion Suzuki while keeping options open, but no formal bids have been made.
- Alisson is out of contract at the end of the season after Liverpool triggered a one-year extension earlier in the year and the club’s manager and sporting director have discussed contingency plans while saying the final choice rests with the player.
- Recent high-profile errors, including a misplaced pass that led to an Arsenal goal and a failure to claim a looping cross that helped Fenerbahce score, have intensified debate about his long-term role because of concerns over distribution and command of the box.
- Giorgi Mamardashvili, signed around 18 months ago, is on the squad but is reportedly not viewed as the definitive long-term successor and Liverpool also have young Lucca Brughmans due to arrive in 2027.
- Any summer move will be complicated by strong interest from other clubs in both Alisson and reported targets, which means Liverpool may need to act decisively in the transfer market to secure a younger long-term No.1.
