Alisson
Italy, Milan, 2025 12 09: Alisson Becker (Liverpool) goes up and saves in the penalty area in the first half during soccer game FC Inter vs Liverpool FC, UCL 2025-2026 Matchday 6 at San Siro Stadium
Liverpool could soon face a delicate decision over Alisson Becker, with fresh claims from Italy suggesting interest from both Inter and Juventus ahead of the summer window.
La Repubblica report that the two Serie A giants are actively assessing the goalkeeper market. Inter are preparing for life after Yann Sommer, whose contract expires in a few months. Meanwhile, Juventus are reflecting on Michele Di Gregorio’s inconsistent performances.
Alisson, 33, has now re-emerged in that discussion. But this is not the first time Juventus have been linked. Last week,Gazzetta dello Sport claimed the Turin club had added the Liverpool goalkeeper to a shortlist that already includedTottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario. The Spurs stopper is valued at €25-30m (£21.5m-£26m).
In that context, Alisson was framed as a more affordable alternative.
Growing Italian interest
La Repubblica now add Inter to the equation. The Nerazzurri are expected to replace Sommer this summer and want an experienced option between the posts.
Juventus, meanwhile, admire Atalanta’s Marco Carnesecchi, who is valued at €45m (£38.5m). However, prising him away is considered difficult. That makes the Liverpool No.1 an increasingly realistic target.
Alisson is effectively under contract at Anfield until 2027. That detail, combined with Liverpool’s prior agreement for Giorgi Mamardashvili at around €34m (£29m), is seen in Italy as leverage.
In short, there is a belief that Liverpool are structurally preparing for succession.

Giorgi Mamardashvili

This is where the situation becomes sensitive. Liverpool have already committed significant money to Mamardashvili. Yet Arne Slot continues to select Alisson whenever he is fit. The Brazilian remains first choice and arguably the most reliable goalkeeper in the Premier League.
That creates a strategic crossroads. If Liverpool intend to extract maximum value, this summer may represent the last strong opportunity. Goalkeepers entering their mid-thirties rarely command significant fees, even with contracts running beyond 12 months.
On the other hand, accelerating Mamardashvili into the No.1 role carries competitive risk.
There is no indication Liverpool are actively pushing Alisson out. Still, with Juventus circling again and Inter now monitoring the situation, Richard Hughes could soon find himself weighing one of the most controversial transfer calls of the summer.
