5/11/2026, 7:38:54 PM
Transfer Talks and Contract Situation
Alisson Becker, Liverpool’s goalkeeper since 2018, is in advanced talks with Juventus for a summer 2026 move. Juventus have reportedly secured personal terms on a three-year contract, while Alisson, whose deal runs to 2027 after a recent one-year extension, is described as “open to joining” but not actively pushing an exit. Liverpool have signalled that Georgian keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili would become No.1 if Alisson departs.
Recent Context and Injury Record
Alisson missed the last seven Premier League matches with a hamstring injury, contributing to Liverpool’s defensive woes. Mamardashvili, signed from Valencia for €30 million in 2024, has made 19 league appearances this season, keeping three clean sheets.
Key Performance Metrics
Alisson posted 2.24 saves and 25 passes per 90 minutes in the 2025-26 PL. Mamardashvili recorded 19 PL games, 3 clean sheets, a 67.4 % save rate and 69.9 % pass success, ranking 14th among league goalkeepers (SciSports).
Official Statements
Juventus officials call Alisson a priority signing and note that his contract situation allows a lower-fee deal. Liverpool confirmed the 2027 extension but said any decision will follow the collaborative model used for Andy Robertson’s January move. Club insiders view Mamardashvili as the long-term No.1, while scouting lists Lucas Chevalier and Emiliano Martínez as alternatives if the Juventus transfer stalls.
Criticism and Opposition
Fans and analysts doubt Mamardashvili’s readiness, pointing to his low clean-sheet count and a defence that ranks among the league’s weakest. The pending exits of Robertson, Salah and van Dijk heighten concerns over a leadership void, while critics warn Juventus may undervalue Alisson with a modest fee.
Conflicting Reports
Some sources say Alisson has already agreed a three-year contract with Juventus; others describe the talks as still progressing without a final deal. No club has confirmed the fee or timeline.
Impact and Implications
The departure would force Liverpool to either invest heavily in a new goalkeeper or adapt tactically around Mamardashvili, affecting defensive stability and transfer spending. For Juventus, signing Alisson adds a world-class shot-stopper ahead of a Champions League push and fits their strategy of acquiring Premier League talent.
What’s Next
The summer window opens on 1 July. Liverpool’s shortlist includes Lucas Chevalier and Emiliano Martínez. Juventus aim to finalise Alisson’s move alongside reported pursuits of Bernardo Silva and Randal Kolo Muani.
