There’s a growing sense that Alisson could leave this summer

That another trusted source has talked up the possibility of a summer exit for Alisson and outlined that Juventus will put ‘significant’ time and effort into signing him would indicate that the Turin club are indeed quite serious about trying to land him.

The line about LFC ‘doing due diligence’ on prospective replacements also suggests that the Anfield hierarchy are preparing for life after the long-serving Brazilian, who had a one-year extension to his contract activated a few weeks ago, thus renewing the agreement to 2027.

The 33-year-old has been a game-changing presence for the Reds during his eight years at the club, although a litany of injury problems have dogged him over the past couple of seasons in particular, with Caoimhin Kelleher and Giorgi Mamardashvili both being frequently called upon.

Every footballer’s time at a club is finite, and Liverpool already have their intended long-term successor to Alisson in place. However, with Mo Salah and Andy Robertson already departing in the summer, this would be an especially inopportune time to lose another invaluable squad leader in our number 1.

There’s a growing sense that he could follow his long-serving teammates out the door before the start of next season, but hopefully we’ll get at least one more year of him at Anfield.
