Liverpool receive shock Alisson transfer offer as goalkeeper makes decision on future

Liverpool No 1 Alisson has received an offer from Turkish champions Galatasaray who made enquires to sign the Brazilian goalkeeper, only to see it knocked back

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is the subject of transfer interest with Galatasaray making an enquiry for the goalkeeper. The Brazilian has been quick to reject the offer and remains committed to life at Anfield.

Alisson was the most expensive goalkeeper in history when he moved from Roma back in 2018 and has proved a hugely successful signing. Despite being 32, he’s still at the peak of his powers and has just helped the Reds claim the top flight title.

Liverpool’s No 1 is under contract until 2027 and, despite several changes to their goalkeeping ranks, Alisson remains central to their plans and Sky Germany reports he’s rejected the prospect of a move to the Turkish champions.

The Merseysiders have just sanctioned the sale of Caoimhin Kelleher, who joined Brentford after a several years serving as an impressive deputy to Alisson. Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Georgian No 1, will also arrive from Valencia having been signed last summer.

Alisson concedes he doesn’t make long-term decisions but expects to remain with Liverpool as they continue building under Arne Slot with a World Cup triumph in America on his radar come next summer.

He said: “I’ve never been able to plan long term. Obviously now I have one year left on my contract and another year of club option, which they will probably exercise. It’s a decisive moment in my career, with a World Cup coming up. I want to be very focused, I don’t want anything external to get in the way of that.”

Galatasaray have shown they’re more than willing to spend huge sums as they continue to be their country’s dominant force. They have just landed Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich with the winger’s contract expiring this summer. They’ve handed the former Manchester City man huge wages with the German thought to be earning £410,000-per-week.

Alisson has never expressed any great desire to leave Anfield and a host of Brazilians have previously decided to head back to their homeland as their careers go on. The Liverpool goalkeeper began his days with Internacional.

Compatriots Neymar and Philippe Coutinho have returned to South America and Alisson admits he’s heard mixed things. He said: “I talk to athletes who have made this move to return, some have had good experiences, others not. Each one will have their own experience, but I want to return, especially to Inter. I don’t know when it will happen, but I still want to do it at a high level. That’s what I have planned.”
