Liverpool could once again find themselves drawn into the Italian goalkeeper market this summer. Juventus are increasingly looking to Alisson Becker as the central solution to their problems between the posts.
The Brazilian has been linked with the Turin club in recent weeksInitially as a substitute for Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario. However, it seems that talks in Italy have moved beyond that stage. Inside Juventus, talk about rebuilding the goalkeeping department is increasingly pointing towards Liverpool being the No. 1.
Juventus want to start a new cycle and avoid another reconstruction that fails to provide stability. For many inside the club, that reset starts with the goalkeeper position.
The idea has now also gained more popularity in Italy as a local outlet. magazine There have been suggestions that the Brazilian keeper may not remain at the center of Liverpool's long-term project. For the Bianconeri, as they say, "all roads lead to Alisson".
He still has a contract at Anfield until 2027, so there is no immediate pressure for a change. However, speculation regarding Liverpool's succession planning has inevitably fueled discussion in Serie A.
Spalletti revives connection idea
One factor that helped trigger this idea is Luciano Spalletti.
The Italian manager worked with Alisson during his time at Roma. This was before the goalkeeper's €75m (£64m) transfer to Liverpool in 2018. During that period, Alisson established the form that would later make him one of the Premier League's most reliable goalkeepers.
That existing relationship is now being seen as a potential lever in Italy. If Juventus were able to initiate negotiations, Spalletti is seen as someone who could help convince the player to consider a move.
Alisson, now 33, remains under contract with Liverpool until 2027 and remains Arne Slot's first-choice replacement whenever he is fit. There is no suggestion that Liverpool are actively courting him.
Yet, the broader context of the club's succession planning has not gone unnoticed.
salary and succession
The latest Italian report claims that the financial side of a potential deal would not be prohibitive for Juventus.
Alisson earns around €6m (£5.1m) per season, a figure considered manageable in Turin. Importantly, it would remain below the club's current salary cap of around €7m (£6m). That limit is set by Kenan Yildiz's contract.
That combination – experience, availability and financial feasibility – is why Alison has quickly emerged as the idea that many discuss.
On Liverpool's side, the question remains of timing. Sporting director Richard Hughes approved the signing of Mamardashvili As part of the club's future plans. However, the Brazilian remains one of the most reliable goalkeepers in world football.
At the moment, there is no sign that Liverpool are ready to open the door. However, the feeling inside Juventus is that if Liverpool were ever willing to discuss a sale and Spalletti managed to convince the goalkeeper, talks could move forward quickly.
In other words, while there is nothing imminent yet, the idea of Alisson becoming Juventus' next No. 1 is no longer being considered a distant scenario in Italy.
