Euro giants make contact with Liverpool star as transfer discussions accelerate

AC Milan are reportedly lining up a bold bid to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, according to Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri.

With Mike Maignan expected to depart at the end of the season—Chelsea are said to be leading the chase for the Frenchman—the Rossoneri have already made initial contact with Alisson’s camp.

Maignan, now 30, has been a key performer since joining Milan from Lille, but rising Premier League interest appears likely to draw him away. Chelsea are believed to view him as a long-term successor to Robert Sánchez.

Milan target Liverpool’s Alisson as potential replacement

Preparing for Maignan’s possible exit, sporting director Igli Tare has begun assessing alternatives, and Alisson has emerged as the club’s top choice. The Brazilian is seen as the perfect blend of experience, leadership, and reliability.

Tavolieri reports that early discussions have taken place between Milan and Alisson’s representatives to determine whether a summer move could be viable.

Alisson, 33, remains one of Liverpool’s most influential players and a key figure in their recent era of success. Since his £67 million arrival from AS Roma in 2018, he has been central to Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League triumphs.

However, his contract—running until June 2027—may become a focal point next summer. In around 18 months, Liverpool will likely need to decide whether to extend his deal or consider a sale as the team continues to evolve under Arne Slot.

Could Liverpool entertain letting Alisson go?

Liverpool are currently concentrating on their Premier League and Champions League ambitions, while Milan remain locked in a tight Serie A title fight. But with Maignan’s situation unresolved and Alisson reportedly open to a new challenge as his career enters its later stages, a summer switch to Italy is becoming an increasingly realistic scenario.

Reports suggest that “talks are ongoing,” hinting that the Liverpool goalkeeper’s future could take an unexpected turn.
