Alisson Becker’s future at Liverpool is under scrutiny as reports indicate that contract negotiations with the Brazilian goalkeeper have not yet commenced. This situation could potentially open the door for Juventus, who previously showed interest in the player, to reignite their pursuit.
Contract Talks Stalled
Alisson is currently in the final season of his deal at Anfield. Liverpool had exercised a one-year extension option earlier in 2026, a move reportedly made to gain time after Juventus’s interest last summer. However, with formal discussions on a new long-term contract yet to begin, some sources suggest Alisson could depart as a free agent next summer.
Factors such as his age – he turns 34 next month – and a recent history of hamstring issues are cited as potential considerations for both the player and the club regarding his long-term future.
Juventus Eye Opportunity Amid Injury Crisis
The Italian giants were reportedly serious about signing Alisson in the summer of 2026. Their goalkeeping situation has since deteriorated significantly, making a move for a new stopper more pressing. First-choice goalkeeper Kamil Grabara is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines, expected to be out for six to seven months after undergoing cruciate surgery. In response, Juventus brought in Neto as an emergency free agent.
This injury crisis could prompt the Bianconeri to revisit their interest in Alisson, especially if he becomes available. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract, Alisson has started every match for Liverpool this season and continues to deliver strong performances.
The club is also reportedly assessing other goalkeeping options, including Giorgi Mamardashvili and Belgian prospect Lucca Brughmans, throughout the current season. While Alisson remains a key figure, Liverpool’s apparent willingness to delay contract talks is a significant detail from Juventus’s perspective.
