'World-class' Liverpool star reaches verbal agreement to leave this summer - journalist

Liverpool are anticipating a big summer of change at Anfield, and it has now emerged that another top first-team star has agreed terms to leave the club.

Andrew Robertson will leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, while Mohamed Salah and Liverpool came to an agreement to rescind his contract a year in advance after a disappointing season, which has seen the Reds battling to qualify for the Champions League and failing miserably in the defence of their Premier League title.

Arne Slot is expected to remain in charge and will oversee a rebuild of the squad, but he may have another position to fill that he wasn't expecting to need to address.

Alisson Agrees Terms With Juventus

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Liverpool star Alisson Becker has found a verbal agreement with Juventus over a move to the Serie A side this summer.

The Brazilian, who has been described as 'world-class', was initially out of contract this summer before Liverpool triggered a clause in his deal to extend it by a further 12 months. But that hasn't stopped interested parties stepping forward, and Juventus have made their move.

It's currently unclear if Liverpool would be willing to discuss a deal to let him leave, but Alisson agreeing to terms to move on suggests that he is ready to call time on his Anfield career alongside Robertson and Salah.

Liverpool's stance is expected to become clearer in the coming weeks, with Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili currently the starting stopper in the Premier League as Alisson recovers from a hamstring injury that has seen him absent since the 4-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray in mid-March.

Time to Cash in on Alisson?

It's been very clear for a while that Alisson is among the best goalkeepers in the world, but his injury issues have been a concern for a number of years now.

At 33-years-old, the Brazilian is no spring chicken anymore, and it seems that his body is struggling to cope with the demands of playing at the highest level these days. Keeping him for another season was a no-brainer for the team, but if they are offered a fee to let him move on rather than losing him for free, this could be their best opportunity.

Mamardashvili was signed as his long-term replacement previously and he's had a period to adapt now. It would be a way of adding some cash to the budget for other areas, and moving on someone on big wages who isn't quite up to it anymore.
