Liverpool are planning an overhaul. A flurry of early approaches have been made in the same direction.
It certainly seems like Liverpool aren't happy with their goalkeeping situation. A lot of that is likely down to Alisson Becker’s injury record – and his impending contract expiry.
Alisson's contract will expire in 2027, meaning we're about to enter the final year of the deal. Liverpool will be hesitant to renew that contract, given Alisson is 33 and struggling with injuries.
Not to mention that he's already on a lot of money and probably wants to either maintain or raise that amount. It’s created a situation where the Reds are open to selling the Brazilian while they still can.
after that which is particularly interesting.
The plan has been for Giorgi Mamardashvili to take over as no.1 but plans change. Instead, Liverpool appear set to sign a new no.1 goalkeeper to be the new lead for the side.
Apito Final claim they want Porto’s Diogo Costa for that role. It's also been claimed that James Trafford is wanted.
Liverpool, then, appear set to move on completely from the old idea. No Alisson, no no.1 spot for Mamardashvili. A remarkable overhaul that could change things significantly.
Alisson Becker: Situation Summary
Liverpool Performance and Injury Update
As of 29 April 2026, Alisson Becker remains a major doubt for Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures as he continues to recover from his second hamstring injury of the season. The 33-year-old has missed the last seven matches, including the recent 3–1 victory over Crystal Palace. While Virgil van Dijk recently expressed hope for Alisson’s stay, he noted the keeper’s increasing injury struggles, having missed 37 games over the last three campaigns. Arne Slot confirmed that while Alisson is nearing a return, he is currently being monitored for Sunday’s trip to Manchester United. With Giorgi Mamardashvili also sidelined, Freddie Woodman is expected to continue deputising if Alisson is not passed fit.
Transfer Speculation and Juventus Links
Alisson’s eight-year tenure at Anfield appears to be nearing its end. Reports from late April indicate that Juventus have made a serious approach, offering a three-year contract. Alisson is reportedly "tempted" by a return to Italy, especially to reunite with his former Roma manager, Luciano Spalletti. While Liverpool recently extended his deal until 2027, the club is reportedly tracking Porto’s Diogo Costa as a primary replacement.
International Standing
Despite his club injury woes, Alisson is confirmed to be in "full playing condition" for Brazil’s 2026 World Cup campaign this June. He remains the undisputed number one for the Seleção under Carlo Ancelotti.
