Alisson’s contract expires in the summer of 2027.Liverpool have another crucial week ahead, with upcoming fixtures against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League set to test their credentials under Andoni Iraola.As the Reds continue to adapt to life under their new head coach, attention is also turning towards the January transfer window, which is now just over two months away.Goalkeeper could be an area of concern for Liverpool, with Alisson’s contract set to expire in June next year. Iraola may therefore need to consider his long-term options, although it remains unclear whether he would promote back-up Giorgi Mamardashvili to the starting role.According to Greek outlet Gazzetta, Liverpool are monitoring Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis following his impressive start to life in the Premier League.Tottenham are also interested in the Greek international.
Reports have linked Tzolakis with a potential transfer fee of around £40million, although no formal offer or agreed price has been confirmed.Liverpool’s interest is understood to be part of their long-term planning in the goalkeeping department as they assess their options for the coming years.Tzolakis became Hull City’s most expensive goalkeeper of all time this summer after completing a £17million move from Olympiacos, where he rose to prominence in 2024 and helped the Greek club win the Europa Conference League.The 23-year-old subsequently impressed in European competition, facing the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and Europa League.Tzolakis attracted interest from several clubs including Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen, and Galatasaray before Hull City won the race for his signature.The Greece international quickly established himself as a key figure in the Tigers’ impressive return to the Premier League, helping them climb to 10th place and raising hopes of a potential European qualification spot this season.Tzolakis became only the ninth goalkeeper in Premier League history to keep a clean sheet in each of his first three appearances.He also impressed for Greece during the September/October international break, helping inflict a first defeat on Jurgen Klopp’s Germany side before keeping a clean sheet in the return fixture, which ended in a goalless draw. He also delivered an impressive performance against the Netherlands.Hull City are unlikely to part ways with such an important player before the end of the season.
However, given his impressive performances, interest from several top clubs appears inevitable.Support DaveOCKOP and enjoy the site completely ad-free. Alisson Alisson Becker Hull City Konstantinos Tzolakis
