Liverpool target Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis in £40m deal to replace Alisson

Liverpool are monitoring Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis and could move for the £40m-rated Greek international next summer, according to Caught Offside. Tottenham Hotspur are also interested, but Liverpool are believed to be favourites for the 23-year-old as they plan for life after Alisson Becker.

  • Player: Konstantinos Tzolakis (Hull City, goalkeeper, 23 years old, 6ft 4in)
  • Valuation: £40 million
  • Interested clubs: Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur
  • Potential move: Summer 2027
  • Current No.1 at Liverpool: Alisson Becker (34)
  • Source: Caught Offside

Deal details

Hull City value Tzolakis at £40 million. The club accept that consistent performances in the Premier League could lead to key players moving on. Liverpool are keeping tabs on the goalkeeper and could consider signing him next summer. Tottenham are also eyeing a move. No formal offer has been reported.

Why Liverpool want Tzolakis

Alisson Becker is 34 and nearing the end of his career. Liverpool need a suitable long-term replacement. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s performances have not been convincing enough for him to take over as number one. Tzolakis, at 6ft 4in, commands his goal well, is confident handling crosses, and does well coming off his line to clear. He has reasonable experience from his time at Olympiacos and is seen as a worthy successor to Alisson.

Competition from Tottenham

Tottenham are also monitoring Tzolakis. However, Spurs have Antonin Kinsky, who took over from Guglielmo Vicario as their number one. If Tzolakis joined Tottenham, he would face strong competition for regular minutes, which is not the case at Anfield. Liverpool have enjoyed more success recently and may play in next season’s Champions League, making them firm favourites over Spurs.

Talking points

  • Is £40m too much for a goalkeeper who has only played a handful of Premier League games?
  • Should Liverpool give Mamardashvili more time to prove himself before spending big on Tzolakis?
  • Would Tzolakis really choose Liverpool over Spurs if both offered regular first-team football?
  • Hull City’s impressive start – two goals conceded in five – shows they are no pushovers, but can they keep their stars?

What happens next

Liverpool will continue to monitor Tzolakis’s performances for Hull City this season. A decision on a formal bid is expected next summer. Tottenham’s interest could force Liverpool to act sooner if they want to secure the goalkeeper’s signature.
