“All roads lead to Alisson” – Plan building for Liverpool keeper, belief move could develop quickly

Liverpool could once again find themselves pulled into the Italian goalkeeper market this summer. Juventus increasingly view Alisson Becker as a central solution to their problems between the posts.

The Brazilian has been linked with the Turin club in recent weeks, initially as an alternative to Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario. However, the conversation in Italy appears to have moved on from that stage. Inside Juventus, the discussion around rebuilding the goalkeeping department has increasingly pointed toward the Liverpool No.1.

Juventus want to start a new cycle and avoid another rebuild that fails to deliver stability. For many inside the club, that reset begins with the goalkeeper position.

The idea also gained more traction in Italy now as local outlet Gazzetta suggested that the Brazilian keeper may not remain central to Liverpool’s long-term project. For the Bianconeri, as they put it, “all roads leads to Alisson”.

He still has a contract at Anfield until 2027, so there is no immediate pressure for change. However, speculation around Liverpool’s succession planning has inevitably fed the discussion in Serie A.

Spalletti connection revives idea

One factor helping the idea gain traction is Luciano Spalletti.

The Italian manager worked with Alisson during their time together at Roma. This was before the goalkeeper’s €75m (£64m) move to Liverpool in 2018. During that period, Alisson established the form that later made him one of the Premier League’s most dependable goalkeepers.

That existing relationship is now being viewed in Italy as a potential lever. If Juventus were able to open a conversation, Spalletti is seen as someone who could help persuade the player to consider the move.

Alisson, now 33, remains under contract with Liverpool until 2027 and continues to be Arne Slot’s first choice whenever he is fit. There is no suggestion Liverpool are actively pushing him out.

Still, the wider context around the club’s succession planning has not gone unnoticed.

Salary and succession

The fresh Italian report claim the financial side of a potential deal would not be prohibitive for Juventus.

Alisson earns roughly €6m (£5.1m) per season, a figure considered manageable in Turin. Importantly, it would remain below the club’s current salary ceiling of around €7m (£6m). That ceiling is set by Kenan Yildiz’s contract.

That combination – experience, availability and financial feasibility – is why Alisson has increasingly emerged as the idea many discussions lead back to.

From Liverpool’s side, the question remains one of timing. Sporting director Richard Hughes approved the Mamardashvili signing as part of the club’s future planning. However, the Brazilian remains one of the most reliable goalkeepers in world football.

For now, there is no indication Liverpool are ready to open the door. However, the belief inside Juventus is that if Liverpool were ever willing to discuss a sale and Spalletti managed to convince the goalkeeper, negotiations could move quickly.

In other words, while nothing is imminent yet, the idea of Alisson becoming Juventus’ next No.1 is no longer being treated in Italy as a distant scenario.
