Alisson played for Roma in Serie A before moving to Anfield in 2018 and is open to a move.
He is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, but his reputation as one of the game’s elite goalkeepers remains intact and Juventus are preparing an ambitious raid for him.
Romano: Alisson Becker is keen to return but will respect Liverpool
Despite the temptation to return to Italy, Alisson is not considering a forced exit. Fabrizio Romano told X that the 33-year-old likes the idea of the move but has “huge respect” for Liverpool and will assess his future in coordination with the club.
“Juventus want to sign a top goalkeeper this summer and Alisson is seen as a dream target. Liverpool have extended his contract until 2027, but negotiations between Alisson and Mamardashvili’s camp are expected to take place in the coming weeks. Alisson likes the idea of returning to Italy, but respects #LFC and wants to evaluate his future with the club.”
Liverpool recently extended Alisson’s contract by one year, making him contract with the club until June 2027.
This will allow the Reds to maintain strong negotiating power should they decide to sell.
However, according to previous reports, Alisson has already agreed personal terms with Juventus, leaving the ball in the court of Liverpool’s hierarchy.
Liverpool should not sell Alisson
Selling the Brazilian player would be seen as a significant risk for Liverpool.
Alisson has been a major contributor to Liverpool’s success in recent years, playing a key role in helping the club win several trophies, including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Not only is he a world-class shot-stopper, he remains arguably the best one-on-one goalkeeper in world football.
And despite the presence of Giorgi Mamadashvili, Liverpool look more solid at the back with Alisson Becker in goal.
Additionally, the leadership and experience he brings to the team will be even harder to replace.
The Reds have already lost two great figures in their dressing room, with Mohamed Salah set to leave the club at the end of the season and Andy Robertson also set to leave as a free agent in the summer.
That’s why we need to stick with the Brazilian for at least a few more years.
