The Reds superstar has been the subject of rampant speculation for months. Despite being at peak age for a goalkeeper, Liverpool have already signed a successor to the 31-year-old.

Valencia shot-stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili was signed for €30 million in the summer and will join up with the Anfield club in 2025. While this doesn't mean that Alisson will depart the club, it is an indication that Liverpool are willing to negotiate for him.

This came after the Brazilian was heavily linked with a summer move to the Saudi Pro League, though it swiftly became clear that he had no intention of following ex-teammate Sadio Mane to the Middle East just yet.

Nevertheless, rumours about a potential departure continue to abound, and he is seemingly not only of interest to Pro League clubs.

Bayern want Alisson

According to a sensational report from The Sun, Bayern Munich are keenly watching developments on Merseyside as they are growing concerned with Manuel Neuer's increasing number of injuries.

Neuer suffered a leg break while skiing in the winter of 2022, which was very much a freak injury, but since his return to action, the 38-year-old has repeatedly dealt with niggling injuries.

Bayern, now coached by Alisson's former Man City rival Vincent Kompany, are said to be admirers of the Liverpool star and consider his uncertain future a potential opportunity to pounce.

However, despite the signing of Mamardashvili, the report acknowledges that Alisson would not come cheap. The 31-year-old is still under contract until 2027, so the Reds would have every right to demand a pretty penny for one of the world's best goalkeepers even if he too has had injury problems in recent seasons.
