Liverpool transfer news: £33.4m Alisson replacement ‘identified’ amid Real Madrid battle fears

Liverpool have reportedly identified Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as a potential permanent replacement for Alisson Becker. With the 34-year-old Alisson approaching the end of his contract and facing scrutiny under manager Andoni Iraola, Liverpool are working on a succession plan despite having Giorgi Mamardashvili on their books.

Verbruggen, who is valued at £33.4m and has two years remaining on his contract, could command significant interest. Real Madrid are also reportedly considering the 24-year-old Netherlands international as a future successor to Thibaut Courtois.
