Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus over a move to Turin in the summer of 2026. According to journalist Nicolò Schira and corroborated by reports in Italy, the 33-year-old has settled on a three-year contract worth €5 million per year, bringing his eight-year tenure at Anfield towards a conclusion. While Liverpool triggered a one-year extension in March 2026 to tie the Brazilian to the club until June 2027, the agreement with Juventus suggests a managed exit strategy as the club enters a significant transitional phase under Arne Slot.
Liverpool weigh replacement options as Mamardashvili form dips
The acceleration of Alisson’s departure comes at a complicated time for Liverpool’s goalkeeping succession plan. While the club secured Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for €30 million in 2024 to eventually inherit the No. 1 shirt, the Georgian has struggled during the 2025/26 campaign. His patchy form has reportedly created internal doubts regarding his immediate readiness for a starting role at Anfield. Consequently, Liverpool have begun compiling a shortlist of alternative targets. According to Football365, Porto’s Diogo Costa has emerged as a preferred option, with Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen and Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez also under consideration.
Strategic reset at Anfield under Arne Slot
Alisson’s potential exit follows a season marred by recurring hamstring injuries, which have seen him sidelined for significant periods since mid-March. This fitness record, combined with his age, appears to have shifted the club's stance on a long-term renewal. Speaking at a recent press conference, Arne Slot addressed the prospect of losing senior figures like Alisson alongside the confirmed departures of Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson. Slot noted that the club makes decisions "in the best interests of the club," framing these exits as part of a broader squad evolution. Liverpool originally paid €72.5 million for Alisson in 2018, and by triggering his extension earlier this year, they have ensured they can still command a respectable fee despite the player’s age and contract length.
Negotiations between Juventus and Liverpool regarding a final transfer fee are expected to follow the conclusion of the current Premier League season.
