What has been reported
The Liverpool link is framed around succession in goal rather than an immediate signing, with Tzolakis put forward as a candidate for the position after Alisson. The Manchester United link is described as interest in a Fulham teenager, not a bid. Neither report includes a fee, a contract length, a salary or a timetable, and neither says whether contact has already taken place.
None of the four clubs has commented publicly on either player. There is no mention of a medical, a formal offer or personal terms. Both stories remain links rather than moves in progress.
Why Liverpool are being linked with a goalkeeper
Ank kumar · CC BY-SA 4.0Analysis: the interest, as described, concerns what happens after Alisson rather than any change for the current season. Clubs plan goalkeeping succession early because the supply of proven first-choice keepers is limited, and a name attached to that planning is best read as a candidate rather than a deal. Hull City have said nothing about their own position, including whether they would consider a sale, and nothing in the reports sets out a valuation or how long the goalkeeper's current terms run.
Manchester United and Josh King
Ank kumar · CC BY-SA 4.0Analysis: a link between a leading Premier League club and a teenager at another English club usually points towards development recruitment rather than the first-team market. The reports offer no position, age, fee or contract detail for King, and give no indication of how advanced the interest is. Fulham have not commented on the player's situation.
What is not yet known
- Whether Liverpool have made any contact with Hull City about Tzolakis.
- Whether Tzolakis is one name on a longer list of goalkeepers Liverpool are considering, or a leading target.
- Whether Hull City would be willing to sell, and at what price.
- Whether Manchester United have approached Fulham over Josh King.
- Any fee, contract length or timetable connected to either player.
What happens next
The next visible step for either story would be a formal approach, a bid, or public comment from one of the four clubs. Until one of those happens, both remain reported interest. Goalkeeping succession tends to develop slowly, and Liverpool have given no indication of any change in goal. For Manchester United, the test is whether a link with a Fulham teenager turns into a concrete offer.
