The Brazilian is open to the idea.
Work is underway on his salary, which stands at €8 million with the Reds. Juventus is offering a Juventus is offering a three-year contract at a lower figure compatible with the salary cap.”Crucially, Alisson himself is reportedly “open to the move,” and that openness alone has been enough to push Juventus into making him their number one priority despite the work that still needs to be done.The main obstacle is wages.Alisson currently earns €8 million a year at Liverpool, and that figure is too much for Juventus, who operate within a strict, established wage cap.They are offering a three-year deal, but at a considerably lower salary that fits within their internal structure.No specific figure has been reported, but the gap between the two parties is understood to be meaningful.There are further complications on Liverpool’s side.The club extended Alisson’s contract by a year earlier this season, meaning he is now contracted until 2027, which means Juventus will need to pay a transfer fee rather than simply wait.Liverpool also have Giorgi Mamardashvili in place as a successor, which could ease any reluctance to sell, though departing with just one senior goalkeeper in the squad is a risk the club will need to weigh carefully before sanctioning any deal.
