Alisson Becker agrees personal terms over Juventus transfer from Liverpool
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has agreed personal terms with Italian giants Juventus ahead of a potential summer transfer.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the 33-year-old has reached a verbal agreement with the Serie A club, although a transfer fee is yet to be negotiated.
The Brazilian’s potential departure forms part of a massive squad rebuild under manager Arne Slot at Anfield.
Liverpool recently triggered a 12-month contract extension to prevent the world-class shot-stopper from leaving on a free transfer this summer.
End of an era at Anfield
The Merseyside club are bracing for significant turnover following a deeply frustrating domestic campaign.
Slot’s side are currently battling merely to qualify for the Champions League after failing miserably in the defence of their Premier League title.
Long-serving defender Andrew Robertson will depart upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
Forward Mohamed Salah has also reached a mutual agreement to rescind his current deal a year early.
Alisson now appears ready to join the exodus, potentially closing the chapter on his highly successful career in English football.
Injuries open the door for Mamardashvili
The veteran goalkeeper has been sidelined with a persistent hamstring injury since a 4-0 Champions League victory over Galatasaray in mid-March.
Fitness struggles have increasingly hampered the South American over recent seasons, raising questions about his ability to consistently manage the rigorous demands of elite football.
Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili has deputised as the starting stopper during this period.
Mamardashvili was explicitly recruited as a long-term successor and has now benefited from a crucial period of adaptation in the Premier League.
Sanctioning a sale would allow Liverpool to command a respectable transfer fee and remove substantial wages from their books, generating valuable funds to reinvest in other areas of the squad.
