Alisson Becker could be edging closer to a sensational move to Juventus, with two well-known transfer reporters outlining the latest developments and what could happen next.

Liverpool are already bracing for a major summer of transition, with long-serving figures expected to move on. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson are confirmed exits, with the Jurgen Klopp era leaders on their way out.

According to trusted reporter Matteo Moretto, discussions between Juventus and Alisson have taken a significant step forward.

Posting on X, Moretto – who works closely with Fabrizio Romano – issued a clear update on the situation.

He wrote: “Verbal agreement between Juventus and Alisson.”

Moretto added further clarity on what happens next, explaining: “In the coming weeks, Liverpool’s stance on a possible departure of the Brazilian goalkeeper will become clear.”

Those comments suggest that, while player-side discussions may be progressing, the next phase will depend entirely on Liverpool and whether the club is willing to entertain formal negotiations. Alisson has a one-year automatic renewal year, which means he is under contract with Liverpool until the end of next season.

Romano confirms Juventus ambition and Alisson stance

Shortly after Moretto’s update, journalist Fabrizio Romano provided his own insight into Juventus’ thinking and Alisson’s personal stance.

Romano explained: “Juventus want to sign a top goalkeeper this summer and Alisson is seen as dream target.”

He continued by highlighting Liverpool’s contractual position and upcoming discussions: “Liverpool extended his contract until 2027 but talks with Alisson and Mamardasvhili’s camp will take place in the next weeks.”

Romano also addressed the goalkeeper’s mindset regarding a possible move, adding: “Alisson likes the idea of returning to Italy but respects LFC and wants to assess his future with the club.”

Keep Alisson for another year: The case for keeping an injury-prone goaalkeeper

Few players in world football command the reputation held by Alisson Becker, widely considered among the finest goalkeepers of his generation.

Ultimately, the whole thing comes down to whether or not Alisson is worth keeping for 35 games of a season. The answer is unequivocally yes.

Even if Alisson only played 10 games, he has the ability to win a cup game or title decider on his own.

Unless there is an elite goalkeeper on the market, Liverpool should keep Alisson until his contract expires next summer.

When you consider there is no financial advantage to selling Alisson at £7m-£13m, as reported, it makes very little sense to sell a player that has so regularly proven he is the difference between victory and defeat in close matches.

Offloading his £10m per year wages is potentially a reason why FSG might want him gone, but he is worth that and more in any season where Liverpool are actually an acceptable football team. This season is an anomaly.
