Alisson Becker to Juventus deal takes shocking twist
Alisson Becker has apparently been close to agreeing a move to Juventus.
With a deal broadly settled between the player and the Serie A giants all that was missing was an accord between the clubs.
It has been reported that Juve were looking to avoid paying a fee for the goalkeeper considering they would have to make a hefty outlay on salary.
Italian media suggests Luciano Spalletti’s side were lining up a 2 + 1 deal for the 33-year-old - with a two-year contract guaranteed with another one included as an option.
That would be an enticing prospect for the Brazil No1 given his age and he has been reported to be intrigued by a return to Serie A.
Alisson could stay at Liverpool
But now a new twist has emerged courtesy of a report in TEAMtalk - which could see Alisson REMAIN at Anfield for the long term.
His current deal is due to expire in 2027 - after Richard Hughes triggered a one-year option. And it’s now been claimed that Alisson would be prepared to turn his back on a Juventus deal on one condition.
