European giants make contact with Liverpool star as transfer discussions intensify.

AC Milan are plotting a bold attempt to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, per Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri.

The Rossoneri expect Mike Maignan to leave at the end of the season — with Chelsea seen as favourites to secure the France international — and have already made initial contact with Alisson’s camp. Maignan, 30, has been a key player since joining from Lille, but rising Premier League interest now points toward his departure. Chelsea reportedly view him as a long-term successor to Robert Sánchez.

Alisson becomes Milan’s top goalkeeping target

Sporting director Igli Tare has begun drawing up replacements, and Alisson sits at the top of Milan’s list. The club believe the Brazilian would provide the experience, quality, and leadership needed for the next phase of their project.

Tavolieri reports that early discussions have already been held with Alisson’s representatives to assess his interest and the likelihood of a summer move.

Now 33, Alisson is still hugely influential at Liverpool and has been central to their success since arriving from Roma in 2018 for £67 million. His deal runs until June 2027, but next summer could spark debate over his long-term future. With 18 months before Liverpool would need to decide on renewing or selling, his situation may come into sharper focus as Arne Slot oversees a period of transition.

Could Liverpool consider a sale?

Some at the club view Alisson as untouchable, while others think moving him on before his value drops could be financially prudent given the need to strengthen multiple positions.

For now, Liverpool remain focused on their Champions League and Premier League pursuits, while Milan continue their push for the Serie A title. But with Maignan’s exit looming and Alisson said to be open to a new challenge late in his career, a summer move to Italy is becoming an increasingly realistic scenario.
