Liverpool are braced for Saudi Arabian club offering Alisson Becker a "jaw-dropping" package to join this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

There is growing Saudi interest in the Brazilian goalkeeper, and whispers about a potential offer are intensifying behind the scenes at Anfield.

Alisson has two years remaining on his current contract, which runs until 2027, and that potentially opens the door to rivals keen to lure him,

Liverpool have no intention of cashing in on the 31-year-old, but the club is wary of his head being turned.

Alisson isn’t the only top Premier League shot-stopper receiving interest from Saudi Arabia, as several clubs are also pursuing Man City’s Ederson.

Alisson became the most expensive goalkeeper of all time when Liverpool brought him to Anfield in 2018 for £66.8million from Roma.

Since then, the Brazil international has won the Premier League Golden Glove award twice and was the Champions League goalkeeper of the season for 2018-19.

Liverpool could face battle to keep hold of Alisson Becker

Alisson has been the undisputed number one at Liverpool since joining the club and has gone on to play 263 games for the club, keeping 114 clean sheets.

Last season was an injury-plagued one for Alisson, as he only managed 28 Premier League fixtures and two Europa League matches.
