Juventus Step Up Push to Sign Alisson From Liverpool

Contract timing plus fitness questions raise the stakes for a decision that could reshape Liverpool's summer.

Overview

  • Juventus, which Sky Sports reported Monday had made Alisson their top summer target, plan to commit major time and funds to a deal.
  • Liverpool triggered a one-year option in March, placing the goalkeeper in the final year of his deal from July and shaping any fee and talks.
  • Liverpool are assessing replacements, according to Sky and the Mirror, though Football Insider reports Arne Slot prefers to keep the veteran to steady a dressing room losing other seniors.
  • Cover issues in goal have grown because deputy Giorgi Mamardashvili is injured, leaving third-choice Freddie Woodman as the only available option for now.
  • This season’s hamstring layoff and a Premier League save rate below 70 percent highlight a dip from Alisson’s peak, and captain Virgil van Dijk said losing him would be a big blow.
