Liverpool keeper Alisson targeted for shock transfer to European giants managed by Premier League legend
VINCENT KOMPANY’S Bayern Munich are watching developments on Alisson Becker.
The Liverpool keeper, 31, has been linked with a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia, possibly as early as the end of the season.
Bayern, who have fitness concerns over their No 1 Manuel Neuer, are also very keen but it would take a fortune to land Alisson next summer.
Ex-Burnley chief Kompany is a big fan of Alisson from his time in English football and could launch an ambitious move at the end of the campaign.
Liverpool are braced for Alisson leaving and have already signed Valencia’s Georgian stopper Giorgi Mamardashvili, 23, to join them permanently next year.
Alisson joined the Reds from Roma following a £67million deal in 2018.
Since then, the star goalkeeper has inspired immense confidence between the sticks – something Liverpool had been sorely lacking prior to his arrival.
The Brazil international shone bright during Jurgen Klopp’s reign at the helm.
The shot stopper helped the Merseysiders win their first Premier League title in 30 years back in 2020.
The Brazilian also won the FA Cup, EFL Cup and the Champions League.

Alisson has amassed a grand total of 269 appearances with Liverpool during his six-year stint at the Kop.
So far this season, the ex-Roma star has played six times across all competitions.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot, though, could also call upon Caoimhin Kelleher if Alisson decides to leave at the end of the season.
