Champions League team ready to make move for TOP target Alisson Becker
A number of high-profile first team regulars will leave Anfield this summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure has already been confirmed and a number of the Reds’ attacking options will be allowed to leave the club in order to make way for new signings.

Caoimhin Kelleher is also expected to depart, with Giorgi Mamardashvili due to arrive from Valencia at the start of the summer.
Most Liverpool supporters would be happy if the goalkeeping changes ended there, but a new report has suggested that might not be the case.
Alisson Becker’s position as Liverpool’s no.1 has been unquestioned this season, but that could change with the arrival of Mamardashvili, and there are some clubs seriously interested in the Brazilian ‘keeper.
Galatasaray targeting Alisson transfer
Galatasaray’s former sporting director Bülent Tulun has revealed that Alisson is one of the Turkish club’s top targets as they look to replace their current ‘keeper Fernando Muslera.
“Galatasaray plans to bring in a top-tier international goalkeeper after Muslera,” Tulun told Radyospor, via Fanatik. “Alisson Becker and Ederson are the main targets. I’ve heard about this development.”

Alisson is valued at €24.1 million by Football Transfers and has also attracted interest from a number of Saudi Pro League teams in the last few seasons.
Liverpool are reportedly reluctant to see their no.1 move on, but that hasn’t deterred Galatasaray’s interest.
Could Alisson really leave Liverpool?
Earlier this season Anfield Watch exclusively revealed that Alisson was very happy at Liverpool and had no intention of forcing away from the club.
This report has since been corroborated and the 32-year-old doesn’t seem a likely departure this summer.
That being said, Alisson has been the number one choice at Anfield since he arrived and, if he does have to spend time on the bench after the arrival of Mamardashvili, it could be hard to keep the shot stopper happy.
The Brazilian is a candidate to replace Alexander-Arnold as the club’s vice-captain and is obviously a big part of the dressing room at Liverpool.
Even after an impressive run by Kelleher earlier in the season whilst out injured, Alisson returned to his no.1 spot as soon as he was back fit, and his importance has not been questioned so far under Arne Slot.

Galatasaray may make a tempting offer to the Brazilian ‘keeper, but Alisson’s departure seems unlikely this summer, and the Turkish giants may have to look elsewhere.
