Journalist: Liverpool star has already agreed to join European giants

Pedulla also connected the story to Luciano Spalletti’s thinking at Juventus. His phrasing was emphatic, saying, “I confirm that for Spalletti he is the first choice by a distance.”

That is not a small detail. It gives the Juventus interest a technical context, not merely a financial or opportunistic one. If Pedulla’s information is accurate, Alisson is not simply one of many names being discussed. He is, in this account, the preferred option.

Pedulla also said, “It is clear that then his entourage will work,” suggesting that any movement would require negotiation through the player’s representatives.

For Liverpool, the implications are obvious, but the transcript does not go beyond that. There is no explicit mention of an asking price, no claim that Liverpool are actively negotiating with Juventus, and no confirmation of an agreement between clubs.

Senesi Comparison Shows Juventus Approach

Pedulla contrasted the Alisson situation with Marcos Senesi, who had also been linked with Juventus. He said, “The difference between Senesi and Alisson, what is it?” before explaining that Senesi had been offered to Juventus last summer and again recently.

According to Pedulla, the issue with Senesi was not Champions League uncertainty. “It was not the uncertainty of the Champions League,” he said. “I want to clarify that.”

Instead, he said the matter centred on wages. Pedulla stated that Juventus’ offer for Senesi “never exceeded 3 million, 3.2 million, 3.3 million per season,” while “especially in the Premier League, they offer more.”

That distinction is important. Pedulla presented Senesi as a player Juventus liked, but not at any cost. “Juve believe they should not spend 5 or 6 million for a defender, even a good one, who is out of contract,” he said.

Alisson, by contrast, was described as a different level of target. “Alisson is a completely different story,” Pedulla said.

Liverpool Face Uncertain Market Noise

Liverpool supporters will naturally treat any Alisson and Juventus story with care. Pedulla did not claim that Liverpool are pushing the goalkeeper out. He did not say Juventus have made an offer to Liverpool. He did not say a transfer is close.

What he did say was specific enough to demand attention: “Juventus have received the yes,” “Liverpool are aware of Alisson’s desire,” and “there would be no salary problems.”

Within the boundaries of the transcript, that is the story. Juventus admire Alisson, Spalletti sees him as “the first choice by a distance,” and the Liverpool goalkeeper is said to be considering “an experience elsewhere.”

For now, this remains a market situation to follow, not a completed transfer. Pedulla himself framed much of the wider market as something that will develop “step by step.” With Alisson, Liverpool and Juventus now tied together by his reporting, every next move will be watched closely.
