Liverpool is giving Juventus a helping hand in summer move for Alisson

Liverpool’s stance is complicating Juventus’ pursuit of Alisson this summer. Juventus identified the Brazilian as a primary target because he had entered the final year of his contract and the club believed it could persuade him to switch. Liverpool agreed to trigger an extra year in his deal and contacted by Juventus, but refused to allow a transfer, saying it did not feel the position was adequately covered. Alisson remains Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper, yet his long-term future is uncertain since talks for a new contract have not started. With contract negotiations reportedly still off, Alisson could become a free agent, which Juventus could benefit from to avoid a transfer fee, though the clubs may still face competition.
