Alisson Becker’s future at Liverpool has been cast in doubt this year despite an extension being triggered in the goalkeeper’s contract.Juventus have eyed Alisson for a while and their interest in the South American appears to have stepped up in recent weeks.It has been said that the Italian outfit have received positive signals from the Liverpool shot-stopper about a move, while one outlet claimed in the last week that the Brazilian has said ‘yes’ to the move in ‘recent days’.Now, Juventus chief Damien Comolli has hinted that he has already been in contact with Alisson, along with another Premier League talent. Who was Liverpool’s most disappointing player against PSG on Tuesday?

I won’t name names (smiles).

But yes, Juve always has the allure of attracting champions. “What’s surprised me so far is that no player we’ve spoken to has said, ‘I’ll only come if you reach the Champions League.’ Players want to come to Juventus because it’s Juventus.”Alisson moved to Anfield in 2017 from Roma, signing for a reported £66.8m package.He played crucial roles in Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League success in the Jurgen Klopp era, but injury issues have become a persistent problem for the goalkeeper in the last few years.Alisson has already had four separate problems in 2025/26, including his current injury, which has ruled him out of five games so far.In his absence, Giorgi Mamardashvili has stepped into the number one role following his arrival in 2025.There were reports earlier this year that Mamardashvili could consider a loan move in the summer due to his lack of starts in 2025/26.But if Alisson were to move to Juventus, Liverpool would already have an experienced, ready-made number one to fill his boots.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
