Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker has not relinquished his position as Liverpool’s absolute guardian despite the change of manager.In addition to his basic performance as a keeper, such as shot stopping, he also has the skills required of a modern keeper, such as good footwork, jumping and passing, which are similar to those of a field player.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper has made more than 260 appearances for Anfield and 70 for Brazil, and is under contract until June 2027, with Saudi Arabia showing strong interest in the player, who, along with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, who also represents Brazil, has been a focus of interest in the Middle East. He has been the centre of attention for clubs.
However, the best European clubs are also keen. According to The Sun, Bayern Munich are keen on acquiring the Liverpool goalkeeper and want to entrust him with a long-term replacement for 38-year-old former German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Vincent Kompany, who took charge of Burnley last season and was appointed to lead Bayern this season, is a big fan of the player and may ask the club’s senior management team to acquire him.
Liverpool have not listened to interest from the Saudis and have no plans to sell at all. Although Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will officially join the club next season, there is no indication that the player wants to leave at the moment.
Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is likely to leave the team, but is expected to make use of the upcoming season to familiarise the 23-year-old goalkeeper with the Premier League and Arne Slott’s style of play.
Although it is not known whether he will renew his current contract, he should be able to play for Anfield until his current deal expires and there is little chance of him leaving England next summer.
