Liverpool’s keeper dilemma threatens Alisson’s stay and Brughmans’ role

Liverpool are facing an important decision over their goalkeepers.

Alisson Becker has a contract that is running down, but the Brazilian has now made clear what he wants.

This could also affect Lucca Brughmans, who was bought last summer for a multi‑million fee from KRC Genk.

The 34‑year‑old wants to remain at Anfield.

"My wish is to stay. I am happy here and my family also," he told after the 3‑1 win over Crystal Palace. "I still want to win trophies and play at the highest level as long as possible."

Alisson confirmed his agent is already in talks with Liverpool about a new deal, though he has not spoken directly with the club’s hierarchy.

No agreement has been reached, yet he insists his future remains at the Reds.

Potential successor and incoming talent

Liverpool already have Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili as a potential successor.

Brughmans is also set to move to England next summer.

The Belgian was signed for about €35 million from Genk and is currently on loan back at the Belgian side.

reports Liverpool are delighted with the 18‑year‑old’s progress, noting he featured in every match for Genk this season and shows great potential.

The club has not decided whether Brughmans will join the first team immediately or start with the reserves.

An extension for Alisson could shape that decision.

For Brughmans, the next steps remain uncertain as he awaits Liverpool’s plans.
