Liverpool: Alisson coveted again by Juventus
By OnzeActu · · 5 min read
Liverpool, under the leadership of Andoni Iraola, made only four recruits this summer, which surprised many supporters who were expecting a much bigger project. If Ronald Araujo and Jeremy Jacquet have already left their mark on the Reds' game, it is the situation around goalkeeper Alisson which now takes center stage. Extended during the summer, the Brazilian goalkeeper remains a world reference despite increasing physical fragility and Juventus' interest in securing his services continues to rise. In the background, Liverpool must manage the post-Alisson transition, in a context where bench depth raises questions.
Why it matters
Alisson's situation is crucial for Liverpool, especially after a summer where the club failed to make the expected changes. The Brazilian goalkeeper, despite his physical problems, remains a pillar of the team and his departure could leave a void that is difficult to fill. Juventus' interest in Alisson highlights the importance of maintaining high-level players amid intense competition, both in the Premier League and Serie A.

During the summer, Liverpool management made sure to extend Alisson Becker, the club's emblematic Brazilian goalkeeper, recognized for his decisive saves which often allowed Liverpool to remain competitive in major events. At 34, Alisson remains one of the most reliable goalkeepers on the circuit, his recent performances continuing to impress specialists and observers of European football. However, the question of his longevity arises acutely as he accumulates physical problems and approaches the end of his career.

At the same time, according to information relayed by TuttoSport, Juventus is once again eyeing Alisson after a first unsuccessful attempt during the last transfer window. The Turin club, always attentive to opportunities to strengthen its last bastion, would welcome a recruitment of the Brazilian at a lower cost, especially since Alisson could soon find himself free while accepting a pay cut. The links forged with Massara and Spalletti during the Roman era could work in favor of the Bianconeri.
On the Liverpool side, management and Andoni Iraola are faced with a dilemma: keep an experienced but injury-prone goalkeeper, or prepare for the future while Giorgi Mamardashvili, current understudy, already distinguished himself when he was called upon to replace Alisson the previous season - notably during an unusual prolonged absence for a goalkeeper. Behind, Lucca Brughmans, young hopeful for the position, represents an option but the staff are hesitant to entrust him with starting responsibility at only 19 years old.
In this context, Liverpool will quickly have to clarify their strategy for the future. The possible loss of a player as decisive as Alisson, praised in particular by Rio Ferdinand for his high-level performances, would force the club to position itself from the next transfer market. For coach Andoni Iraola, it is now a question of managing not only the integration of summer recruits, but also of preparing the succession to a crucial position if Juventus ever achieves its goals.
The rest
With Juventus interested in Alisson, Liverpool will have to consider options for the future of the goalkeeper position. Management may need to explore the transfer market to find a potential replacement, especially if moves materialize in the next transfer window. Alisson's performance in the coming months will also be decisive for Liverpool's strategy and management of the depth of its squad.
