Rochefort Overview

Liverpool will need to identify a new No.1 in the summer of 2027, as long-serving Alisson runs his contract down towards free agency, and former Reds goalkeeper Brad Friedel has speculated with GOAL about who could register on the Anfield recruitment radar. Caoimhin Kelleher, Unai Simon and Gianluigi Donnarumma are among the names to have been mentioned.

Former England right-back Glen Johnson has urged Bournemouth playmaker Alex Scott to snub Chelsea in favour of joining Liverpool during the upcoming January transfer window. Both Premier League heavyweights are competing to sign the 23-year-old midfielder after the south coast club set a £100 million asking price for their prized asset.

Sunderland have entered the pursuit of Almeria midfielder Stefan Dzodic as Atletico Madrid step up their efforts to sign the highly rated 21-year-old prospect. The Serbian talent is protected by a €40 million (£33m/$45m) release clause in southern Spain and has also attracted interest from several other English clubs.

Amid the many injuries in attack, there is speculation over whether Bayern Munich might yet enter the transfer market this winter, contrary to their original plan. Now an intriguing rumour has emerged from England.
