Van Dijk Calls Possible Alisson Exit a ‘Big Blow’ as Juventus Interest Grows

The captain’s comments point to a finish-the-season-first approach to any goalkeeper decision.

Overview

  • Van Dijk, who spoke Wednesday, praised Alisson as the world’s best in his view and said the focus is the keeper’s return for Liverpool’s last four games.
  • Juventus have been linked by multiple reports and are said to have contacted Alisson’s representatives, with one Italian outlet alone claiming a personal agreement that others have not confirmed.
  • Liverpool triggered a one-year option earlier this season that keeps Alisson under contract until June 2027, giving the club leverage in any talks.
  • Alisson is sidelined with a muscle problem and has missed 40 matches across the past three seasons, a rise that has fueled questions about reliability.
  • Liverpool signed Giorgi Mamardashvili in 2024 as succession cover, and any sale now would come as Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson depart, raising the risk of a broader leadership gap.
