Alisson edges closer to exit: Liverpool name their price

It has been claimed by reports in Italy that Alisson Becker has agreed to join Juventus.

Alisson, 33, joined Liverpool back in 2018 - going on to win a plethora of team and individual honours. The Brazilian recently signed a one-year contract extension at Anfield - tying him to the club until 2027.

But it’s been suggested that the extension might only be to allow Richard Hughes the opportunity to cash in on Alisson with a transfer fee this summer.

Rather than losing the Brazil No1 on a free transfer Liverpool could earn some money back on a goalkeeper reported to be earning £150k per week.

Juventus are very keen on adding Alisson with head coach Luciano Spalletti having worked with him previously at Roma. And with Liverpool possessing Giorgi Mamardashvili as their No2 there is already a succession plan in place on Merseyside.

Right now a deal needs to be worked out between Liverpool and the Italian giants.

Liverpool want £9m to £13m for Alisson

Now it’s been reported in Calcio Mercato that the Premier League champions have been left irritated by Juve’s latest request. The asking price has been set out at between £9m and £13 for Alisson - but Juve don’t intend to pay anything.

Therefore the clubs are miles apart on their valuation of this deal right now.

“The main obstacle remains reaching an agreement between the clubs: Liverpool is asking for between €10 and €15 million, while Juventus wants to lower that figure or even eliminate it entirely,” the report reads.

“They also have the player's approval on their side, which was obtained after long and fruitful discussions with his entourage.

“The two clubs will therefore work towards reaching an agreement, perhaps even trying to reach a compromise.

“On the one hand, Juventus, who don't want to pay the player's fee and are aiming for an early exit or favorable terms to make it happen, on the other, the English, who are reportedly irritated by the Italians' request."

Game over for Alisson at Anfield

The move is set to cost the Serie A side plenty in salary. In order to accommodate Alisson’s demands they would have to spread the money across a longer contract.

Alisson remains one of the game’s finest goalkeepers but is missing too many matches through injury. He has been out for a long spell - allowing Mamardashvili the opportunity to stake his claim for the No1 shirt - and it’s his second such absence of the season.

Richard Hughes and Arne Slot will be weighing up therefore whether they can rely on Alisson for the final year of his deal or whether he will again be spending time in the recovery rooms.
