Key Points
  • Alisson has one year left on his Liverpool contract after a one-year extension was triggered in March.
  • His agent was reportedly in Turin, and Juventus are interested but have not contacted Liverpool.
  • Alisson is injured with a hamstring problem, and other key players like Robertson and Salah are also reportedly leaving.

Alisson, who has been Liverpool's goalkeeper for eight years, has one year remaining on his contract after the club triggered a one-year extension in March. According to multiple reports, his agent was in Turin this week, and Juventus are interested in signing him but have not yet contacted Liverpool. The 32-year-old is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, adding to the uncertainty.

Meanwhile, Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah are also reportedly leaving the club this summer. " Slot also noted that the club will make decisions in its best interest, weighing factors such as experience. It remains unclear whether Juventus will make a formal offer or if Liverpool will seek a replacement.

The main focus for Ali is very clear, that is getting back in goal as soon as possible for the club he loves to play for and then he wants to be in goal for the country he wants to play for, that is Brazil. I think that is already the short- and mid-term future.

Well, that is your opinion and I will bring that opinion to the ownership and to Richard [Hughes, the director of football]. I think the club is run in a certain way and we make decisions that the club thinks are in the best interests of the club. And it could mean this is the reason why. It could mean another good argument why we acted how we acted. I think the history of all the transfers shows that nothing was done without a purpose or without thinking about it. Look, the people who make these decisions take everything into account. They try to make the best decisions with the interest of the club. [Experience] is definitely one argument to keep him but there are other arguments. That is a decision the club has to make if that is needed. In the end, he still has one year [on his contract].
