Image Credits: Imago ImagesAlisson Becker has been linked with a summer move away from Liverpool, with Juventus showing strong interest in the Brazilian goalkeeper.Liverpool are preparing for a busy transfer window after a disappointing campaign, with uncertainty also surrounding Giorgi Mamardashvili’s future adding to their goalkeeping concerns.Alisson’s situation is expected to be one of the major talking points of the summer, with Juventus already reported to have held talks with the player and his representatives as he enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.The potential departure of several senior figures, including Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson, has raised concerns over leadership within the squad if Alisson were to leave as well.Arne Slot is keen to retain the 33-year-old for at least another season.
Juventus, despite missing out on Champions League qualification on the final day of the Serie A season, remain confident, with Alisson also having previously enjoyed a successful spell in Italy with Roma.According to Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele, Liverpool are hoping to persuade Alisson to see out his contract at Anfield despite interest from Juventus, who are prepared to offer a three-year deal on significant wages.Juventus are also willing to pay around £13m for the Brazil international and their stance has not changed despite missing out on Champions League qualification.Liverpool would not outright block a departure if Alisson or any player pushes to leave, but the club are determined to resist further exits from their leadership group.Arne Slot last month refused to be drawn on Alisson Becker’s future. Slot said: “I am only focused on the short-term future and that is getting him back into goal as soon as possible.“The answer is going to be that all these rumours that are out there about him and about probably me and about others, we don’t react to rumours in this room, also not in my conversations with [sporting director] Richard [Hughes].“We only react when facts need to be told and that is not the situation at the moment.
The main focus for Ali is very clear, that is getting back in goal as soon as possible for the club he loves to play for and then he wants to be in goal for the country he wants to play for, that is Brazil. I think that is already the short and mid-term future.”Liverpool endured a frustrating 2025/26 campaign, finishing fifth in the Premier League and relinquishing the title too easily.
