Fabrizio Romano reveals the real reason why Alisson Becker could leave Liverpool

Complicating matters further is the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili, a goalkeeper of promise yet still unproven at the highest level. Succession planning at this position is delicate. Continuity matters, but so does evolution.

There is also the broader context. With key figures potentially departing, Liverpool must consider whether losing another leader would destabilise the dressing room. Goalkeepers, especially ones of Alisson’s calibre, are not easily replaced.

Romano outlines contract talks

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided detailed insight into the situation, offering clarity on both Juventus’ approach and Alisson’s mindset.

Romano said: “Juventus already made a serious approach with Alisson and his camp over a potential long term contract.

Long term doesn’t mean five years, but my understanding is that Juventus would be ready to offer a two plus one year contract. Two years plus one as an option, or eventually to discuss a three year contract with Alisson.

So with these two options being discussed, it’s an important contract, a long contract for Allison. At the same time, Liverpool have activated a few weeks ago the option to extend his current contract at Anfield until 2027.

So on one side, Allison has a one year contract at Liverpool. On the other side, Juventus are prepared to offer two plus one or even three years at the club to the Brazilian goalkeeper.

From my understanding, Alisson would be tempted by the possibility to return in Italy and try a new chapter after he did a fantastic at Roma a few years ago with the same coach who is now at Juventus, Luciano Spalletti. So, Alisson would be tempted by this possibility.

But Alisson doesn’t want to leave Liverpool in a bad way at all. Alisson wants to respect Liverpool. Alisson loves Liverpool and Alisson will not leave on bad terms. That’s the intention of the Brazilian goalkeeper.

So now it’s on Liverpool to decide from now to the end of the season to communicate something with Alisson to discuss with Alisson and decide what they want to do if they want to keep him, if they want to sell him, if they open doors, which conditions what Juventus can pay to Liverpool eventually.

So several points to clarify in order to understand the future of Alisson but at the moment it depends on Liverpool and Liverpool extended his contract because they believe in Allison and they are already going to lose two important leaders, Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.

So losing also Alisson on the same summer would be tough, and that’s going to be a point discussed internally in order to make a decision.”

His words underline the central tension. Juventus are proactive, Liverpool are reflective, and Alisson stands between loyalty and opportunity.

Career legacy and next chapter

This is not merely a transfer story. It is a question of legacy. Alisson has been transformative at Liverpool, redefining expectations for a modern goalkeeper with his distribution, composure and decisive interventions. He has delivered in defining moments, elevating the team in ways that statistics alone cannot capture.

Yet football rarely allows sentiment to dictate outcomes. Juventus offer a fresh chapter, a return to familiar surroundings and the chance to extend his career within a league that values tactical intelligence and positional mastery.

Liverpool, meanwhile, must decide whether to hold on to a proven asset or begin the transition to a new era. The coming weeks will shape that decision.

For now, the narrative remains open. Alisson is under contract, Juventus are circling, and Liverpool must choose their direction carefully. In elite football, timing is everything. This may be one of those moments when timing defines not just a transfer, but a legacy.
