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 goalkeeper Alisson’s move to Italy has constantly been spoken about in the last few weeks. Now, the deal could be heading in the right direction once again.
On Wednesday, there were negative signs for Juventus.Sport Witness covered TuttoSport’s claims that the Brazilian’s entourage is sceptical over whether the Old Lady can afford the goalkeeper’s wages.
This perception emerged after multiple discussions were held between the two parties.
As a result, Juve were considering Fiorentina’s David De Gea as an option. The Spaniard is witnessing a resurgence in Italy and his current deal runs out in 2028.
Now, a move for the Liverpool player could be back on track, with the Reds’ valuation not as high as first thought.
Price tag could be dropped
JournalistMirko Di Natale has tweeted about the 33-year-old, claiming that a deal is advancing. Juve will meet Alisson’s entourage once again in the next few days, even if discussions are underway.
The two parties are speaking about a three-year deal worth €5m per season. Manager Luciano Spalletti is the key figure driving the deal, having worked with the Brazilian during his time at AS Roma.
Interestingly, Di Natale reports a Liverpool’s price tag of €10m. This is less than the €15m valuation that has been previously covered.
Today’sCorriere dello Sport also indicates something similar.
The Reds would want between €10m and €15m and not €15m specifically. Juve would obviously push for a discount, as they want to pay as little as possible as his contract runs out in 2027.
Liverpool could be offered player
Interestingly,Gazzetta dello Sport offer more details. They also point out at a valuation of €10m to €15m but believe Michele Di Gregorio can be offered to Liverpool in the deal.
The Italian has previously been targeted by the Anfield club and Juve can now take advantage of that. The Bianconeri believe Arne Slot’s side would want to replace Alisson and they are happy to offer the ex-Monza player, whose value will cover the €10m fee.
Italy’s pink daily are sure that if Alisson asks to leave Liverpool, the Reds will not stop him from leaving. In fact, the reason why they tied the veteran down to a new deal is to make sure he doesn’t leave for free.
Our take: Italian press getting too excited
It doesn’t feel like the Italian media is thinking logically. Apart from Alisson’s wages and his transfer fee, Juve might also have to pay a signing-on fee and agent fees. This can take the deal to over €25m.
That isn’t easy money for the Bianconeri and it will get even more difficult, if they fail to finish inside the top four.
Besides, there is no reason for Liverpool to give a discount in Alisson’s sale either. Saudi clubs have previously been linked with him and they can pay much more than Juve can. So for now, it feels like intermediaries around Alisson are simply pushing a narrative.
