Juventus monitoring Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson for summer transfer

Juventus have identified Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker as a potential summer transfer target as the Italian giants search for a new number one.

The Serie A club are reportedly considering offering the Brazil international a route back to Italy ahead of next season.

Alisson established himself as one of the world’s leading goalkeepers after moving to Merseyside from Roma in 2018.

Serie A interest intensifies

According to reports in Italy, Juventus have turned their attention to the Premier League to solve their goalkeeping requirements.

The 33-year-old is listed alongside Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario as a primary candidate for the Turin-based outfit.

The Reds’ shot-stopper is currently contracted until the summer of 2026.

However, Liverpool hold an option to extend that deal by a further 12 months.

This clause makes a free transfer highly unlikely, ensuring the Premier League leaders remain in a strong negotiating position.

Liverpool’s succession plan

The Anfield club have already taken steps to secure their long-term future between the posts.

Giorgi Mamardashvili was signed from Valencia last summer in a deal worth up to £29m, though he remained in Spain on loan for the current campaign.

The Georgia international is viewed by many as the natural successor to the current number one.

Alisson expects stay

Despite external interest, the Brazilian has previously indicated he expects to remain on Merseyside in the short term.

Speaking last season regarding his future, Alisson suggested the club’s option clause would likely be activated.

“I’ve never been able to plan long term. Obviously now I have one year left on my contract and another year of club option, which they will probably exercise.”

He emphasised his focus on maintaining high performance levels ahead of the next World Cup.

“It’s a decisive moment in my career, with a World Cup coming up. I want to be very focused, I don’t want anything external to get in the way of that.”

While a return to Europe is possible, the goalkeeper has also expressed a clear desire to eventually conclude his career with his boyhood club, Internacional.

“I talk to athletes who have made this move to return, some have had good experiences, others not. Each one will have their own experience, but I want to return, especially to Inter.”
