Liverpool may soon face a delicate decision over Alisson Becker, with the Italian claiming there is interest from both Inter and Juventus ahead of the summer window.
La Repubblica reports that the two Serie A giants are actively assessing the goalkeeper market. Inter are preparing for life after Yan Sommar, whose contract expires in a few months. Meanwhile, Juventus are reflecting on Michele Di Gregorio's inconsistent performances.
Alison, 33, has now re-emerged in that discussion. But this is not the first time Juventus have been linked. last week, gazzetta dello sport It is claimed that the Turin club have already included the Liverpool goalkeeper on their shortlist. guglielmo vicario of tottenham. The Spurs stopper is valued at €25-30m (£21.5m-£26m).
In that context, the Allison was designed as a more affordable option.
Growing Italian interest
Republic Now add inter into the equation. The Nerazzurri are expected to replace Sommer this summer and want an experienced option between the positions.
Juventus, meanwhile, admire Atalanta's Marco Carneschi, who is worth €45m (£38.5m). However, he is considered difficult to reward. This makes the Liverpool No. 1 an increasingly realistic target.
Alisson is effectively under contract at Anfield until 2027. That detail, combined with Liverpool's prior agreement of around €34m (£29m) for Giorgi Mamardashvili, is seen as leverage in Italy.
In short, there is a perception that Liverpool are structurally preparing for succession.
Richard Hughes' dilemma
This is where the situation becomes sensitive. Liverpool have already committed a significant sum of money to Mamardashvili. Yet Arne Slott continues to select Allison whenever he sees fit. The Brazilian remains the first choice and arguably the most reliable goalkeeper in the Premier League.
It forms a strategic crossroads. If Liverpool intend to extract maximum value, this summer could represent the last strong opportunity. Goalkeepers entering their mid-thirties rarely receive significant fees, even if their contracts last more than 12 months.
On the other hand, there is competitive risk in moving Mamardashvili into the No. 1 role.
There is no indication that Liverpool are actively pursuing Alisson. Yet, with Juventus circling again and Inter now monitoring the situation, Richard Hughes may soon find himself considering one of the most controversial transfer calls of the summer.
