Liverpool, enjoying a bright start to the season and currently topping the league, have been nearly unbeatable, with only one loss so far. Despite their strong form and European success, they’ve suffered a major setback as first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker is now sidelined.
Reports from Football Insider suggest that Liverpool will face renewed interest in Alisson next summer, particularly from the Saudi Pro League, after fending off offers during the recent transfer window. The 32-year-old opted to remain at Anfield for the 2024-25 campaign but could be tempted by future bids.
Liverpool face Alisson exit decision next summer
The 32-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, earning £150,000 per week, has missed 40 games for Liverpool over the past five seasons more than any other goalkeeper in the league. According to Football Insider, Liverpool’s leadership faces a tough decision on his long-term future next summer, especially with Giorgi Mamardashvili set to arrive on Merseyside through a pre-agreed deal. Alisson’s persistent injury record could force the club to reassess their plans between the posts.
It’s understood that if a substantial offer comes in for Alisson, Liverpool will have to weigh the benefits of parting with their star goalkeeper, who is still regarded as one of the best in the world. Alisson’s current contract at Anfield runs until June 2027, following his latest extension signed in 2021. The club may face a difficult decision, given his stature and the potential financial and squad impacts of such a move.

Alisson is set to miss key fixtures over the next month, including crucial games against Chelsea, Arsenal, Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen. Since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2018, the 32-year-old has made 271 appearances and has been instrumental in securing the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup titles for the Reds. His absence will undoubtedly be felt during this challenging period.
