Juventus are now ready to launch a "significant" move to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker this summer in another potential blow for Arne Slot.
Juventus ready to launch "significant" Alisson move
Just when Liverpool think they've solved their problems, another defeat seems to arrive. This time, it was Manchester United who compiled their misery, completing the double over their rivals for the first time in a decade.
Slot now has three games to earn four points to secure Liverpool's Champions League status. Should he fail to do that, there will be huge questions about his Anfield future.

He may not be the only leading figure heading for the exit door this summer, either. Mohamed Salah has already confirmed the news of his departure at the end of the season, bringing an end to an illustrious career at the club. The Egyptian will be almost impossible to replace on and off the pitch, and the same can be said for Alisson.
According to Sky Sports' Lyall Thomas, Juventus are now ready to launch a "significant" move to sign Alisson from Liverpool this summer, sparking further concerns for Slot.
The Brazilian's injury struggles have handed the Reds a glimpse of what life might look like in his absence, and it's not been an entirely enjoyable one. Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is next in line for that starting spot, is yet to fully convince and an injury of his own has left third-choice Freddie Woodman between the sticks.
Why Liverpool must keep Alisson this season
With Salah leaving and Andy Robertson following suit, Liverpool's leadership group is decreasing by the second. After such a disastrous campaign, the last thing they need is for that group to be depleted entirely. And that's why keeping hold of Alisson must be among their top priorities.
Dubbed "one of the world's best" by former manager Jurgen Klopp, the shot-stopper's quality is yet to evaporate even as injuries persist. He very much remains the best goalkeeper that Slot has to choose from.
PL 25/26 Alisson Mamardashvili
Minutes 2,250 688
Saves P90 2.24 3.53
Save Percentage 65.1% 67.5%
Pass Accuracy 79.6% 70.2%
Clean Sheets 8 2
The baton can be passed to Mamardashvili in good time, but Liverpool should be in no rush to show Alisson the door in the process. He remains just as important off the pitch as on it, especially after this season.
