Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson considers summer transfer to Juventus
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is open to ending his eight-year stay at Anfield this summer to join Italian side Juventus.
The Brazilian international has just one year remaining on his current contract and is estimated to earn around £150,000 a week.
While the 31-year-old will not actively force a departure, an exit is highly possible if the right conditions are met.
Liverpool are understood to be open to his departure owing to the shot-stopper’s persistent fitness issues.
Injury struggles and Italian interest
The former Roma man has endured significant spells on the sidelines since the 2023-24 campaign.
Recurring hamstring problems have forced the South American to miss more than 50 matches across the last three seasons.
Juventus are keen to secure his signature despite their recent failure to qualify for the Champions League.
The Turin giants missed out on Europe’s premier club competition after a final-day 2-2 draw with local rivals Torino.
An Anfield exodus
Should the former £80m signing depart, he would be the third modern-day legend to leave Merseyside during this transfer window.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson both made their final appearances for the club during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Brentford.
The Egyptian forward has reached an agreement to terminate his contract a year early to depart on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, Scottish full-back Robertson has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur after his deal expired.
Goalkeeping regrets
Alisson’s potential departure could leave the Premier League champions questioning their recent transfer business.
The Reds sold Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford last summer in a deal worth up to £18m to accommodate the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili.
However, the Georgian international has failed to match the impressive standards set by his Republic of Ireland predecessor.
Kelleher ironically produced a stunning stoppage-time save on Sunday to deny Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz a winning goal.
