Richard Hughes prepares to take seismic Liverpool transfer decision

Juventus want deal for Alisson

The 33-year-old has recently triggered a one-year contract clause - tying him to the Premier League champions until 2027. That development hasn’t stopped the transfer noise however.

One line of thought is that Richard Hughes renewed the Brazil No1’s deal in order ot safeguard against losing him on a free.

With Alisson now under contract for a further year Juventus would have to pay a fee - estimated between £9m and £13m to land their top goalkeeping target.

Furthermore it’s been reported that the former Roma shotstopper is intrigued by a return to the Italian top flight. Alisson made his name in European football under current Juve coach Luciano Spalletti in the capital city.

And given than what he’s got on Merseyside the player’s head could be turned.

'Ball in Liverpool's court' over Alisson

Now it’s been claimed by Paul Joyce in the Times that sporting director Hughes is on the verge of a monumental transfer decision with the ball now very much is in his court.
