Liverpool open talks to sign Juventus keeper Michele Di Gregorio
Liverpool have opened discussions to sign Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio ahead of the summer transfer window, moving ahead of Premier League rivals Tottenham.
The Reds are actively seeking reinforcements between the posts amid persistent speculation surrounding the future of current number one Alisson Becker.
Reports in Italy suggest the Anfield hierarchy have now initiated formal contact regarding a deal for the highly-rated 26-year-old.
Spurs fall behind in pursuit
Tottenham had previously registered strong interest in acquiring the Italian shot-stopper.
However, the north London club appear to have lost ground as they struggle to guarantee elite Champions League competition for the upcoming campaign.
The Serie A standout is reportedly unenthusiastic about a potential switch to the English capital.
He has been widely praised by Italian media this season, described simply as being “among the best” in his domestic division.
Potential swap deal in the balance
The transfer situation presents a unique opportunity, with Juventus harbouring a longstanding admiration for Liverpool’s Brazilian international Alisson.
This mutual interest could eventually pave the way for a high-profile swap agreement between the two European heavyweights.
Securing top-tier continental football remains a crucial bargaining chip for the Merseyside outfit as they look to rebuild their squad this summer.
