Alisson does fancy that, and it would make sense as well. Liverpool have got the backup there that they’re happy with and Alisson will go.“This is the last window they’ve got to try and get some value for him.

He’s approaching the twilight of his career, but still at an age where the club could get a decent fee for him, rather than letting him depart for free in a year’s time.Also, he’s missed a lot of game-time over the past two seasons due to recurring injury problems, and the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili was very much made with a view to having his long-term successor in place.However, at a time when the Reds are crying out for leadership on the pitch and in the dressing room, losing the goalkeeper on top of Salah and Robertson would be a major worry, and captain Virgil van Dijk has already called out for new leaders to emerge within the squad.Furthermore, whilst Alisson hasn’t been on the pitch nearly often enough this season, his goal concession rate and clean sheet record reflect his importance to Liverpool, and he retains a dominant presence which adds a sense of security to the rest of the team.
