Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly targeting Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker in a surprising transfer move. Following the potential departure of their current number one, Dominik Livakovic, Fenerbahce is searching for a new goalkeeper. Mourinho has grown frustrated with unsuccessful attempts to sign Ederson from Manchester City, whose asking price of €20 million (£17.4 million) has also deterred Galatasaray, another Turkish rival. As a result, Alisson Becker has been offered to Fenerbahce as an alternative target, although no formal transfer discussions or offers have been initiated yet.
Mourinho’s interest is notable given his past contentious history with Liverpool, having been a Chelsea and Manchester United manager with a controversial relationship with Liverpool fans. Despite this, Mourinho appears determined to secure one of Liverpool’s key players this summer.
Meanwhile, Alisson remains Liverpool’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper and has two years left on his contract at Anfield. Reports suggest that Alisson has even reduced his wage demands significantly, from an earlier €25 million annually down to around €15 million (£13 million), which still equates to a large weekly wage of approximately £250,000. This reduction seems to coincide with rumors of interest from Turkish clubs looking to bolster their squads.
Alisson has had a highly successful stint at Liverpool since 2018, securing numerous major trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup. His reputation as an elite goalkeeper makes the potential transfer to Fenerbahce a notable development in the summer 2025 transfer window.
