Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus ahead of a potential summer move to Serie A, with Italian football reporter Alfredo Pedulla claiming the Brazilian has given the Italian giants a verbal commitment that they are now expected to formalise through advanced negotiations with the Reds.
The development comes despite Liverpool having triggered a renewal clause in Alisson’s contract that extends his deal until 2027, a move that was widely interpreted as the club protecting their asset rather than a definitive statement of intent to keep him through the remaining year of that extension.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Juventus have approached Alisson directly over the prospect of a summer move, having identified the 33-year-old as their primary target to replace Michele Di Gregorio, whose performances this season have left the Turin club’s hierarchy unconvinced he is the long-term answer in goal.
Alisson has spent seven years at Anfield since arriving from Roma in 2018 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the club’s history, forming part of the Jurgen Klopp era that delivered the club’s first league title in thirty years alongside Champions League and FA Cup glory.
His fall down the Liverpool pecking order has been directly linked to the arrival and steady emergence of Giorgi Mamardashvili, the towering Georgian goalkeeper signed from Valencia last summer who Arne Slot is clearly grooming as the long-term number one at the club, a transition that has inevitably affected Alisson’s standing in the squad.
The Italian market has been a known destination for some time in Alisson’s personal planning, with the goalkeeper having previously expressed a long-term desire to return to Brazil and rejoin his boyhood club Internacional before the end of his playing career, though a move to Juventus would represent an intermediate step rather than the final destination he has described publicly.
Inter Milan were among the clubs first linked with Alisson, though the Italian champions were priced out of their pursuit of Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario, leaving them also circling the Liverpool situation, though Juventus appear to have moved more decisively and are currently better positioned to conclude a deal.
FootballTransfers reports that Alisson is keen to leave this summer to avoid the uncertainty of entering the final year of his contract in a reduced role, with Liverpool also thought to prefer a sale now over losing him on a free transfer in twelve months’ time while getting nothing in return for a player who would still command a meaningful fee.
Arne Slot has spoken warmly of Alisson in recent months, describing the luxury of having “two outstanding goalkeepers” at the club and framing Mamardashvili’s development as a long-term project rather than an immediate displacement, though the practical reality of the first-team situation has made Alisson’s continued presence increasingly difficult to sustain as anything other than a backup role.
Juventus are understood to be pushing to complete the deal early in the window, before any other clubs can enter the race in earnest, with the reported framework involving an initial two-year contract with the option for a further twelve months, a structure that would take Alisson into his mid-thirties while giving both parties flexibility over the longer term.
