Exclusive: Saudi suitors already preparing lucrative January offers for Liverpool stalwart

Despite the summer transfer window being closed in England, Liverpool's Alisson Becker continues to attract significant interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, with potential moves being considered for the January transfer window.

Liverpool has been highly active in recent transfers, making record-breaking signings such as Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak for over £100 million each, alongside other acquisitions like Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong. Concurrently, the club has seen several outbound transfers, including key players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez, with Nunez now playing in Saudi Arabia.

Sources close to the situation report that Saudi clubs are preparing lucrative offers for Alisson, including annual salaries of up to €15 million and transfer bids in the range of €25-30 million. However, no official offers have been submitted to Liverpool as of yet.

Alisson is currently under contract with Liverpool for two more years, and any transfer would be difficult to execute unless the player actively pushes for a move, given his importance to the team.

Many of Alisson's former teammates, such as Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Sadio Mane, have already moved to Saudi Arabia, highlighting a trend. Financially, a move could provide Alisson with a substantial pay raise from his current €9 million annual salary at Liverpool.

The Saudi Pro League's transfer window remains open for three more weeks, allowing for the possibility of a last-minute bid, but such a move is considered unrealistic due to Liverpool's reliance on Alisson as their first-choice goalkeeper and the short notice involved.

Alisson's nomination for the Yachine Trophy at the upcoming Ballon d'Or ceremony underscores his status as one of the world's top goalkeepers, making a sale at this time unthinkable for Liverpool. It is hoped that he will resist any offers from Saudi Arabia in the near future.
