Liverpool plot swoop to trump Man Utd & Chelsea in race to sign 6ft 4in colossal – report

Liverpool are reportedly competing with Chelsea and Manchester United to secure a permanent transfer for Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. With Alisson Becker entering the final year of his contract, the Reds have identified the Dutch international as a serious replacement candidate. However, they face heavy interest from domestic rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, alongside European giants Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Brighton reportedly have no intention of letting Verbruggen leave mid-season but could be open to a sale next summer. His current contract runs until 2028, and clubs are monitoring his situation as Manchester United face form concerns and Chelsea deal with injuries in their goalkeeping ranks.
