Liverpool are actively scouring the market to identify replacements for Alisson Becker, with Juventus poised to test their resolve with an offer for the longstanding first-choice goalkeeper. Alisson still has a year remaining on his current contract after Liverpool triggered an extension in March, but he could depart this summer.
Injury-Hit Season Raises Questions
The 33-year-old goalkeeper has made 332 appearances for Liverpool, having been the first choice since arriving from Roma for £67 million in the summer of 2018. However, his 2025/26 season has been heavily impacted by injuries, and his struggles could signal the end of his time on Merseyside.
Juventus have emerged as serious contenders to sign Alisson, who is reportedly open to leaving Liverpool. The Italian giants could offer their goalkeeper, Michele Di Gregorio, in exchange for the veteran Brazilian stopper. Juve are reportedly ready to offer Alisson a deal until the summer of 2028 with the option of a further 12 months. Sky Sports reports that Liverpool are aware of the situation and are therefore lining up replacements ahead of a crucial transfer window.
Manager Slot Addresses Speculation
The Reds already know they will lose Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson this summer and could also need a new goalkeeper. Giorgi Mamardashvili has filled in for Alisson, making 18 appearances in all competitions this season, but is himself out injured, leaving third-choice Freddie Woodman as Slot's only option right now.
Slot was asked about the possibility of losing Alisson in the same window as Robertson and Salah recently. In response, he said: "I think the club is run in a certain way and we make decisions that the club thinks are in the best interests of the club. And it could mean this is the reason why. It could mean another good argument why we acted how we acted.
"I think the history of all the transfers shows that nothing was done without a purpose or without thinking about it. Look, the people who make these decisions take everything into account. They try to make the best decisions with the interest of the club.
"It (experience) is definitely one argument to keep him but there are other arguments. That is a decision the club has to make if that is needed. In the end, he still has one year."
Addressing the Juventus interest specifically, he said: "The main focus for Ali is very clear, that is getting back in goal as soon as possible for the club he loves to play for and then he wants to be in goal for the country he wants to play for, that is Brazil. I think that is already the short and mid-term future."
Potential Departures Reshape Liverpool Squad
Liverpool face a significant squad overhaul this summer, with key players like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already set to leave. The potential departure of Alisson would add to the challenge, leaving the club needing to rebuild not just the outfield but also the goalkeeping department. With Mamardashvili injured and Woodman inexperienced at the top level, Liverpool's recruitment team faces a critical task in identifying a suitable successor to the Brazilian international.
