Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as the Reds begin considering their long-term options between the posts.
According to reports highlighted by Sports Illustrated, Liverpool are among several clubs monitoring the Dutch international, whose impressive performances have attracted attention across Europe.
Liverpool Monitor Bart Verbruggen Amid Alisson Uncertainty
Liverpool’s reported interest in Verbruggen comes as the club considers its goalkeeping future beyond Alisson Becker.
The Brazilian remains a hugely important figure at Anfield, and he has previously expressed his desire to continue playing for Liverpool beyond the expiration of his current contract in 2027.
However, the Reds appear to be assessing potential long-term successors, with Verbruggen emerging as one of the names attracting attention.
The 24-year-old Brighton goalkeeper has developed a strong reputation and could represent an attractive option if Liverpool eventually decide to strengthen their goalkeeping department.
Real Madrid Also Interested in Verbruggen
Liverpool are not alone in monitoring the Brighton shot-stopper.
Spanish giants Real Madrid are also reportedly considering Verbruggen as a possible successor to Thibaut Courtois.
The growing interest from two European heavyweights could make his future an important transfer story ahead of upcoming windows.
Brighton, meanwhile, could face a difficult challenge keeping hold of their goalkeeper if serious offers arrive.
What This Could Mean for Liverpool
For Liverpool, monitoring Verbruggen does not necessarily mean Alisson is leaving Anfield.
Instead, it could be part of the club’s wider succession planning as they prepare for the future.
Alisson remains an experienced and highly respected goalkeeper, but identifying potential replacements early would give Liverpool more options when the time comes to make a major decision.
For now, Verbruggen remains a reported transfer target rather than a confirmed Liverpool signing.
