Alisson Becker is set to leave Liverpool next summer, marking a significant shift in the club’s defensive ranks. The 33-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper is reportedly seeking a new challenge, and with the Reds open to a sale for the right price, Juventus has emerged as the frontrunner for his signature.
Juventus Reaches “Near-Agreement” with Alisson
According to Sky Sports, Juventus has been in active contact with Alisson for several weeks. Reports suggest a personal terms agreement is nearly finalized, as the Brazilian has expressed a strong desire to return to Serie A, where he previously starred for AS Roma.
The only remaining hurdle is the formal agreement between Juventus and Liverpool regarding the transfer fee. Alisson’s current contract at Anfield runs until the summer of 2027, giving Liverpool some leverage in negotiations.

Liverpool’s Terms for the Legendary Goalkeeper
Liverpool’s management is reportedly willing to sanction the move due to Alisson’s age and recent injury record. Furthermore, the club feels confident in the development of Giorgi Mamardashvili, who has already demonstrated he has the potential to be a long-term successor at Anfield.
Financial Breakdown of the Deal:
- Liverpool’s Asking Price: Approximately €17 million (reflecting his current market value).
- Juventus’ Stance: The Italian side is attempting to lower the fee significantly, having initially hoped for a free transfer.
- Timeline: Both clubs aim to reach a “common ground” agreement before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Great Anfield Exodus
The departure of Alisson Becker signals the final chapters of the legendary squad built by Jürgen Klopp. This “Golden Generation,” which secured two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy, is rapidly dissolving.
With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already announcing their departures at the end of the season, Virgil van Dijk will soon stand as the last remaining pillar of that historic era.
