European giants who are managed by a former Premier League star 'plot shock move for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson'... but are braced for an 'expensive' transfer fee

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been linked with a shock move away from the club.

The Brazilian shot-stopper is a firm favourite at Anfield and has enjoyed much success during his time at Liverpool.

However, he is reportedly being monitored by a major European club ahead of a potential move.

The club that are targeting Alisson are managed by a former Premier League star.

Alisson, who has three years left on his contract at Liverpool, has played 269 times for the Reds.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany is eager to sign Alisson but a deal would be expensive

Alisson could replace veteran German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at the Allianz Arena

As reported by The Sun, Bayern Munich are interested in a potential move for Alisson.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, have concerns over Manuel Neuer, with the 38-year-old having endured many injury problems in recent years.

Alisson has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Liverpool having already prepared themselves for the possibility that he could depart.

However, losing Alisson would represent a major blow for Arne Slot's side.

Liverpool have secured a deal to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia ahead of next season.

Bayern are aware that a move for Alisson would be very expensive.

Alisson has won an array of honours with Liverpool, including the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

The Brazilian has made five league appearances for the Reds this season, and managed to keep three clean sheets.

Alisson potentially leaving could have an impact on Caoimhin Kelleher's Anfield future

He recently missed two games with a hamstring injury, but returned on Saturday as Slot's team moved top of the table with a 2-1 victory over Wolves.

His current understudy Caoimhin Kelleher recently spoke out about trying to leave Anfield in order to gain regular first team football.

But Alisson potentially leaving could open the door for the Irishman to start getting more minutes moving forward.

Liverpool also face uncertainty over the futures of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, who are into the final year of their contracts.
