Alisson signed a new deal at Liverpool two months ago but Juventus have not given up on the goalkeeper.
The Brazil international’s contract now runs out in 2027, which gives the Reds greater control over the player.
Sport Witness have covered a positive stance from the Italian media about a move for Alisson. Juve can also offer a player in the deal, which can possibly make things easier.
But there has been talk that the Old Lady might struggle to pay the entire package of a move. This includes the player’s wages and the signing-on fee, even if Alisson has expressed an openness to return to Italy.
Now, Liverpool’s stance is becoming clearer and causing difficulties for a summer move.
Reds’ blamed for transfer struggles
TuttoSport report that a move for Alisson is gaining momentum day by day in Turin. Juve have been in constant contact with the Brazilian’s entourage.
But the report contradicts itself when Liverpool find a mention. Their demands will be the ‘main crux’ of a move but negotiations are expected to be difficult between the two parties.
Intense weeks are incoming for the discussions, with Alisson said to be keen on the deal. This is driving the move but Liverpool will be difficult to deal with. Their price tag isn’t mentioned but it is presumed that the deal will be expensive and will need further discussions.
The Old Lady are desperate for a goalkeeper, with Michele Di Gregorio’s future in doubt. His exit in the summer will make signing a stopper a priority in the next few months.
Our take: Deal likely won’t happen
It feels like TuttoSport are operating in their classic way that favours Juve, even if their information is contradictory.
This is also mainly because of Alisson’s entourage, who could be pushing for a transfer. That doesn’t mean the 33-year-old will definitely leave Liverpool and Juve will have to pay a significant package to afford him.
The Italian media have mentioned the idea of a swap involving Di Gregorio but the Italian would ideally want to be first-choice. He wouldn’t want to rotate withGiorgi Mamardashvili, making things difficult for the ex-Monza player.
