Liverpool considering Verbruggen move - Sunday's gossip

What the report says

Liverpool are being linked with a possible move for Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, according to the BBC Sport football gossip round-up. The report says the Premier League club are assessing options in goal as uncertainty grows around Alisson Becker’s future, with the Brazil international’s contract due to expire next summer. Verbruggen, 24, is described as a target under consideration rather than a player Liverpool have formally signed or bid for.

The same gossip roundup also says Bayern Munich are still in discussions with the camp of Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha. The 18-year-old England youth international is said to remain on Bayern’s radar after earlier contact, with the German club hoping he could become a transfer option in the summer window.

Elsewhere, Tottenham midfielder Conor Gallagher is reported to be attracting monitoring from other Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace, Everton and Leeds United. The piece suggests Spurs are unlikely to let the 26-year-old England international leave. BBC Sport presents these as unconfirmed transfer links circulating in the media, and not as completed deals or official club announcements. The roundup also reflects the wider context of the January and summer transfer markets, where clubs often track replacements and future squad planning well before any move is finalised.
