Liverpool target Brighton goalkeeper to replace Alisson

Liverpool have begun planning for the future of their goalkeeper position, as Brazilian Alisson's contract is set to expire in 2027. Dutchman Bart Verbruggen, the goalkeeper for Brighton, has been identified as one of the leading candidates to succeed him.

TEAMtalk has reported that Liverpool and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on the 24-year-old goalkeeper after his standout performances this season, despite him being under contract with Brighton until 2028.

Bart Verbruggen is being monitored not only by Chelsea and Manchester United, but Bayern Munich has also previously inquired about his situation. Real Madrid is considering the possibility of signing him to be the successor to Thibaut Courtois.

Despite the growing interest, the goalkeeper confirmed his happiness with Brighton, saying: "I don't know what will happen in the future, no one knows, all I know is that I am very happy at Brighton right now."

Brighton are unlikely to agree to his departure next January, especially as his contract runs until 2028, giving the club a strong negotiating position. It is more likely that they will consider his future in the summer of 2027.
