TRENDING RUMORS
– Reports suggest that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is on Juventus‘ radar, as noted by Gazzetta dello Sport. The Bianconeri are reportedly considering the 33-year-old Brazil international to address their goalkeeping situation amid issues with Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin, with the prospect of signing him potentially increasing as he heads into the final year of his contract this summer. Despite the Reds bringing in substitute goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, Alisson has maintained his starting position this season. Juventus is also reportedly interested in Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
– Additionally, Barcelona is keen on acquiring Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush, according to Sport. The 27-year-old has been noted as a possible alternative to Atlético Madrid‘s Julián Álvarez, and the club believes he could fit well into manager Hansi Flick’s tactics. They anticipate being able to secure him for under €75 million this summer. Furthermore, Sport reports that Barcelona has communicated to the representatives of 31-year-old wing back João Cancelo their intention to sign him permanently next season. Although Cancelo is currently on loan from Al Hilal, discussions are expected regarding a transfer fee, with the club pleased with his performances since January.
– Both Manchester United and Manchester City are expressing interest in Nottingham Forest midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, according to The Daily Mail. They are reportedly monitoring the duo’s situations in anticipation of potential summer moves, and additional teams could enter the fray should Forest face relegation from the Premier League. Gibbs-White is 27, while 23-year-old Anderson has been linked with City as a possible future replacement for Rodri, with estimates of at least £100 million needed for his transfer.
– Borussia Dortmund anticipates a fee of approximately €70 million for midfielder Felix Nmecha, amid interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, as reported by Bild. Nmecha’s situation at Signal Iduna Park is described as “sensitive” following his recent agency change to one based in England. Dortmund might be willing to negotiate if their asking price is met. They are also expecting interest in winger Karim Adeyemi and striker Serhou Guirassy as they aim to generate funds for squad rebuilding.
– Everton is contemplating a move for Manchester City defender John Stones. According to Football Insider, the Toffees are looking to sign the 31-year-old on a free transfer once his contract expires this summer. However, complications are anticipated due to a likely signing bonus demand and his recent injury issues. There are growing indications that Stones will seek a move from the Etihad Stadium, potentially ending his near 10-year tenure that began when he moved from Goodison Park in August 2016.
EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s Liverpool correspondent Beth Lindop weighs in on Alisson’s future.
Although Alisson continues to be regarded as one of the top goalkeepers globally, there’s a growing sentiment this season that his time at Liverpool may be coming to a close.
This doesn’t imply an imminent departure this summer, as it appears more likely that the Brazil international will complete the last year of his contract at Anfield. Nevertheless, a series of persistent injuries and faltering distribution suggest he might not be operating at his highest level anymore.
Liverpool’s decision to sign Mamardashvili in 2024 — despite Mamardashvili spending last season on loan at Valencia — indicates potential succession planning, with the young goalkeeper aspiring to become the long-term No. 1 for the Reds. For now, however, Alisson retains that position, and it seems improbable that it will change in the upcoming season.
