The Anfield Index Podcast

Could Liverpool be preparing to say goodbye to two of the defining players of their modern era?

On today's Newsround with Lewis, Lewis reacts to reports that Liverpool do not intend to offer Alisson Becker a new contract, potentially bringing the Brazilian goalkeeper's remarkable eight-year stay at Anfield to an end next summer.

Attention also turns to Virgil van Dijk, with interest reportedly emerging from Saudi Arabia, MLS and Turkey as Liverpool consider whether to extend their captain's contract. Lewis explains why he believes Van Dijk can still play a major role at Anfield and why losing both him and Alisson in the same summer would represent a huge changing of the guard.

There's also discussion around Liverpool's future goalkeeper plans, including Giorgi Mamardashvili and highly rated youngster Luka Brugmann, as the Reds prepare for life beyond some of the biggest names of the Klopp era.
