Liverpool target Bart Verbruggen as Alisson Becker replacement

Liverpool are preparing for a possible departure of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is linked with a move to Juventus. The club have identified Premier League keeper Bart Verbruggen of Brighton as a primary target; the 23‑year‑old has made 36 league appearances this season and is the Netherlands' first‑choice keeper ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Liverpool have also looked at Sunderland’s Dutch international Robin Roefs, who could provide competition for the newly‑signed Georgian Giorgi Mamardashvili. The Reds aim to secure a replacement before Chelsea enter the race for a new goalkeeper. Reported fees range around £35 million for Roefs, while Verbruggen’s market value is estimated at €50 million.
