Liverpool are reportedly beginning to plan for the future in goal, with the club identifying two potential replacements for long-serving Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
According to TeamTalk, the Reds have earmarked Brighton & Hove Albion's Bart Verbruggen and Aston Villa's Zion Suzuki as possible transfer targets as they prepare for life beyond their current first-choice goalkeeper.
Alisson has been a key figure at Anfield since arriving from AS Roma in 2018, establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most reliable goalkeepers. His performances have played an important role in Liverpool's success, including their Premier League and UEFA Champions League triumphs.
However, with the Brazilian entering the later stages of his career, Liverpool appear keen to avoid being caught unprepared when the time eventually comes to find a long-term successor.
Verbruggen has impressed with his performances for Brighton, earning recognition for his composure, shot-stopping ability and distribution. The Dutch international is viewed as a goalkeeper with the quality and potential to compete at the highest level.
Meanwhile, Suzuki is another name reportedly attracting Liverpool's attention. The Aston Villa goalkeeper has also emerged as a potential option as the Merseyside club assess their long-term goalkeeping plans.
No transfer agreement has been confirmed, and it remains unclear whether Liverpool will make a formal approach for either player.
Nevertheless, the reported interest suggests that the Reds are already looking ahead, with succession planning becoming an important part of their long-term strategy.
