‘THE CHOSEN ONE’: Club owner is now ‘breaking the budget’ to prepare a ‘monster contract’ to sign the £66 million Liverpool player

Football — 05/21/2024

This summer, a foreign club is expected to make a sizable contract offer to one of the Liverpool players.

After more than eight years with the team, Jurgen Klopp was let go by the Reds on Sunday. Although the German will be much missed, Liverpool supporters are eager to see what Arne Slot can accomplish at Anfield. ImageThe transfer market will be in the spotlight before the season begins, and one of Liverpool’s best players might soon get an alluring offer to leave the team.

For Alisson Becker, a talented player for Liverpool, Saudi clubs have huge plans. ImageIn the summer of 2018, Liverpool paid a then-record £66.8 million to AS Roma for goalkeeper Alisson Becker, setting a new record in the process (BBC). Image Although the Brazilian entered the game with immense potential, few could have predicted that he would go on to play a major role in Liverpool’s triumph.Ever since he joined Liverpool, Alisson has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The 31-year-old has made 263 appearances across all tournament levels for the Reds, and he was a major contributor to their Champions League and Premier League victories.

Alisson is incredibly popular with Liverpool supporters and is still a key player in the team’s future.ImageNevertheless, a few Saudi Arabian teams are planning to get Alisson to go elsewhere in response to rumors that he would leave Liverpool this summer.Four of the biggest teams in Saudi Arabia are owned by the Public Investment Fund, or PIF: Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr, and Al-Hilal.Alisson is one of their main goals for the forthcoming summer transfer window, when they intend to make several significant moves.ImageThe Liverpool player is the “chosen one,” according to journalist Rudy Galetti, and PIF is putting together a “monster” contract offer to entice him to sign with one of their teams this summer.Alisson Becker was one of the PIF’s primary priorities for this summer. Galetti tweeted, “The League has identified the chosen goalkeeper and plans to sign him at the highest level.””We’re working on a huge contract to persuade him.”Alisson is not a reason for Liverpool to be concerned, but three other players are. ImageAlthough it’s always concerning when Saudi Arabian teams show interest in your best players, Liverpool shouldn’t be too concerned about Alisson.

The Brazilian’s Anfield deal is set to end in the summer of 2027. This gives Liverpool a significant advantage in any future transfer talks.

But in terms of three other players, the Reds are vulnerable. In July, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and captain Virgil van Dijk will all begin their final year of contracts; these issues need to be resolved as soon as feasible. Liverpool faces the possibility of losing those three important players this summer or in 2025 for nothing if they are unable to sign new contracts for them all.
