Liverpool could strike a swap deal with Juventus amid internal doubts over an Anfield star's progression this season, according to reports.
Liverpool set for key summer with high-profile exits confirmed
Liverpool are preparing for a major reset this summer, with two of their most influential players set to depart.
The confirmed exits of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson signal the end of a defining era at Anfield, forcing the club into a period of significant transition.

Salah’s departure will leave a huge gap hole in Liverpool’s attack.
For years, he has been the focal point, delivering goals, consistency and moments of quality in the biggest games. Replacing that output will not be straightforward, and it is expected to be one of the club’s top priorities in the transfer market.
Robertson’s exit carries similar weight.
The left-back, who is poised to join Tottenham if they avoid the drop, has been a key figure in Liverpool’s system, known for his energy, delivery and leadership.
The Scotland captain's presence on and off the pitch will be missed, and the club now faces the challenge of finding a successor capable of matching his influence.

Liverpool are expected to make sweeping changes in the summer transfer window once again.
These confirmed departures underline the scale of change underway.
Liverpool are not simply tweaking the squad, they are reshaping it.
The focus is on building a side that can compete at the highest level while also preparing for the future, a balancing act that will define their summer business.

Recruitment plans are already being put in place across several areas of the pitch, and while attacking and defensive reinforcements are obvious priorities, there is also growing attention on the goalkeeping department.
Liverpool could strike Juventus swap deal for Michele Di Gregorio
Giorgi Mamardashvili, who completed his transfer from Valencia last summer, remains highly rated.

However, there are lingering doubts behind-the-scenes at Anfield about whether he is ready to take on a leading role straight away, as per TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey.
The club are keen to manage his development carefully rather than placing too much responsibility on him too soon, and that uncertainty has opened the door to other possibilities.
Liverpool are now facing a situation that could reshape their goalkeeping setup entirely, with Juventus reported as strong contenders to sign Alisson after identifying the Brazilian as a key target as they look to strengthen between the posts.
Alisson has been a central figure on Merseyside since his arrival, widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in world football.

However, interest from Italy is growing, and there is increasing belief that he could be open to a new challenge at this stage of his career, with Juve said to be in talks.
What makes the situation particularly interesting is the structure of a potential deal.
TEAMtalk suggest that Juventus could offer Michele Di Gregorio as part of a swap deal, giving Liverpool an immediate replacement if they decide to let Alisson join the Serie A giants.
Such a move would represent a significant shift.

Alisson’s presence has provided stability and confidence for years, but Liverpool are clearly considering their long-term options. A deal that brings in another experienced goalkeeper could help ease that transition.
Di Gregorio has built a solid reputation in Italy as an 'extraordinary guy' and could be seen as a dependable option at a high level.
While he may not carry the same global profile as Alisson, he is a solid Italian international and could step into the squad without a lengthy adjustment period.

This approach would also protect Mamardashvili’s development. Rather than being thrust into the spotlight immediately, he would have the opportunity to continue progressing while competing with an established alternative.
From Juventus’ perspective, the appeal is clear.
They are searching for a proven, elite-level goalkeeper, and Alisson fits that requirement perfectly. His experience and track record make him an ideal candidate to lead their next project.
