Alisson’s contract was extended to June 2025 after Liverpool exercised his one-year option in March, with his 16 missed matches through injury prompting a possible sale.
Slot plans to replace Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson, with Liverpool monitoring Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi and sporting director Richard Hughes poised to influence the transfer.

Summary

Alisson Targets Comeback

Alisson Becker says his immediate aim is to recover fully and rejoin Liverpool’s starting lineup.
He also states that securing Brazil’s goalkeeper spot for upcoming internationals is a personal goal.
Manager Arne Slot notes that Alisson’s experience supports keeping him while the club must weigh additional considerations.
Slot adds that any decision will be guided by short- and mid-term factors rather than veteran status alone.

Summary

Liverpool Eye Inácio

Liverpool are targeting Sporting CP centre-back Gonçalo Inácio, who has a £52 million release clause.
Real Madrid are also monitoring Inácio’s availability alongside other clubs.
Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konaté face uncertain futures, with Gomez linked to a summer exit and Konaté yet to sign a new contract.
The club plans to improve the backline to better protect the goalkeeping position next season.

Summary

Juventus Targets Alisson

Juventus have named Alisson Becker their top summer target.
Juventus will devote resources and time to secure the Brazilian goalkeeper, fitting their plan to strengthen defence after a season that fell short of goals.
Juventus may include midfielder Michele Di Gregorio in a swap deal to persuade Liverpool to negotiate.
The move could reshape the Serie A goalkeeper market, forcing rivals to revisit transfer strategies.

History

Historical Context

In July 2018 Jürgen Klopp paid Liverpool’s record £66.8 million for goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who posted 21 clean-sheet league games and helped secure the Premier League title. That deal set a benchmark for elite keepers. Today Arne Slot must decide whether to repeat the sale or keep the world-class keeper for Liverpool’s rebuild as the club reshapes its defence.
