Alisson has a valid claim to being Liverpool's finest ever keeper and still has a year remaining on his current deal, reports the Liverpool Echo.However, his 2025/26 campaign has been severely affected by injuries and his difficulties could indicate the conclusion of his spell on Merseyside. Conor Bradley has displayed glimpses of his capability at full-back but has struggled with a number of injuries, while Jeremie Frimpong is yet to make the position his own.While Tottenham has been repeatedly exposed defensively this season, Pedro Porro stands out as a Premier League-proven defender who shares many of Alexander-Arnold's qualities.
The mere image of the Frenchman charging down the right flank this season, tormenting defenders and probing with his lethal left foot, will have set Liverpool supporters' pulses racing.Alongside Olise, should Liverpool manage to lure him away from Bayern – one report has even put his price at £173M ($236M) – is Ekitike cutting in from the left. The Frenchman's campaign has been cruelly curtailed by a serious Achilles tendon injury, yet his 17 goals in his debut season demonstrate that the 23-year-old is more than capable of rising to the challenge.Completing the trio is Alexander Isak.
