Catch all the latest Liverpool transfer news, including updates on Alisson Becker's future, some potential goalkeeper replacements, and interest in a Serie A defender for the summerAlisson Becker continues to be linked with an exit from Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images))The Liverpool hierarchy is putting plans together for the summer transfer window, with the coming weeks set to be important to the future direction of the team.There is no denying that the Reds have been disappointing this season, with a $600 million transfer splurge followed by a meek Premier League title defense and exits in the Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.Fortunately, a slight recovery in form should now see Arne Slot land Champions League qualification for next season, a bare minimum point from which the team can build. While that still needs to be secured, attention will quickly turn to the summer, with question marks surrounding how Liverpool can recover with a proper rebuild of certain areas in the squad.READ MORE: Liverpool icon urges Arne Slot to sign Tottenham pair despite relegation fearsREAD MORE: Spirit of Shankly urges Liverpool to 'come back to table' as protest intensifiesSo, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of a busy summer.Alisson Becker (Liverpool)Alisson Becker continues to be linked with a possible exit from Liverpool this summer, as Fabrizio Romano claims that Juventus has already made a "serious approach" for the goalkeeper.A potential long-term contract is claimed to be on offer for the Brazilian, with a two-year contract with the option of a further year on the table, or failing that a normal three-year deal.Romano adds that Alisson would be "tempted" by the possibility of joining Juventus, with an idea of retiring in Italy, but the goalkeeper is keen to leave Liverpool on good terms, and won't leave if it puts the club in a bad position.The 33-year-old has been in and out of the team this season following a few injury troubles, but the Reds recently activated a one-year extension in his deal to keep him at Anfield until 2027.Liverpool.com says: The club is caught in an awkward situation here with Alisson.

Alisson's exit may only compound that, adding problems to the recruitment team's plate in having to find ways to deal with losing the intangibles.Diogo Costa (FC Porto)With the goalkeeper ranks set for a shakeup if Alisson leaves, it would be no surprise to see Liverpool enter the market for possible replacements.Giorgi Mamardashvili could become the No. With that in mind, TeamTalk claims that FC Porto shot-stopper Diogo Costa is on the shortlist at Liverpool, and could be a possible arrival this summer.Diogo Costa has been linked with a move to Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Diogo Cardoso/Getty Images))The Portuguese goalkeeper isn't the only one, however, as Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, Sunderland ace Robin Roefs, and Manchester City man James Trafford are all being eyed too.Liverpool.com says: It would be no surprise to see Liverpool enter the market for a goalkeeper, but it would seem odd to go for a No.

Mamardashvili's planned arrival was meant to be with Alisson's exit in mind; a competitive second-choice may well be a better option.Sam Beukema (Napoli)Liverpool has also been linked with a move for a defender, as TeamTalk claims that Napoli's Sam Beukema is an option being eyed up by the Reds.It's stated that the Dutch center-back is "highly regarded" by Arne Slot, with the Liverpool boss keen on bringing him into the squad to compete for a place in the backline. It's claimed that the head coach has made his views clear to the sporting director, Richard Hughes, on his interest in Beukema, as they draft up a shortlist for the summer.Liverpool.com says: This move may be a bit of a surprise, as Liverpool's center-back ranks seem relatively set for the new season, unless exits occur.
