Juventus are already working on the idea of a major overhaul in goal for next season. And in this scenario, one name is gaining increasing weight behind the scenes: Alisson Becker.
At 33 years old and with a contract until 2027 with Liverpool, the Brazilian, according to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, is emerging as the most reliable, experienced and financially viable alternative to take the leading role in a department set to undergo structural changes.
Alisson enters Juventus' radar
The context helps explain the move. Michele Di Gregorio, signed to be the starter, is going through a period of instability and is under evaluation after recent errors. Mattia Perin, meanwhile, wants to be a protagonist again. The combination of these factors means the goalkeeping position is being treated internally as an absolute priority in the summer 2026 window.
Initially, the Bianconeri board attempted an ambitious move for Mike Maignan, betting on the possibility of signing him without a fee. The Frenchman's renewal with AC Milan, however, closed that door and forced Juve to redirect their radar towards market opportunities. It is in this context that Alisson's name emerges as a strategic solution.
Several factors work in Alisson's favour. He has made more than 400 appearances for Liverpool, winning two Premier League titles, one Champions League and achieving icon status at Anfield. A CV that guarantees immediate impact on and off the pitch, especially for a young squad in reconstruction.
Furthermore, the Brazilian already knows Italian football intimately. Between 2016 and 2018, he played for Roma, where he was managed by Luciano Spalletti, Juve's current head coach. His rapid adaptation to the style of play and the pressure of Serie A is seen as a significant advantage, reducing sporting risks and accelerating his integration into the project.
Why Alisson fits the Juventus project
Another decisive factor is the situation at Liverpool. The English club have already prepared for the future by signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, earmarked as Alisson's natural successor. This opens an important window for negotiations, particularly given the Brazilian's relatively short contract, which enters its final two years from next European summer.
For a Juventus who still depend on Champions League qualification to balance their finances – a spot could be worth around £50.8m (€60m) – Alisson represents an attractive equation: a more controlled transfer fee, a high salary but one compatible with his status, and practically immediate sporting returns.
Beyond technical quality, Alisson delivers something the current squad lacks: consolidated leadership at the highest competitive level. At a club under pressure for results and seeking to recover continental prominence, having a goalkeeper accustomed to big decisions and great European nights is seen as a strategic differentiator.
Internally, the understanding is that signing a name of this calibre could accelerate the reconstruction process, offering defensive stability and positive influence over a group still in formation. The Brazilian's international experience is also considered valuable for a team that aims to compete on equal terms with the continent's leading forces once again.
