Mamardashvili in Juventus Talks as Alisson Becker Edges Toward Exit

mamardashvili now sits at the center of Liverpool’s transfer picture, with Alisson Becker in advanced negotiations to join Juventus this summer. Liverpool had already triggered the option for an extra year on his contract, but the talks have pushed his future back into the open.

Alisson Becker and Juventus

The move would take Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper to Italy during the 2025/26 season cycle now taking shape around the summer market. Speculation that he could leave has been growing recently, and the Juventus negotiations give that talk real weight rather than making it just another rumor on the queue.

Arne Slot did not give any assurances about Alisson’s future when he spoke on Thursday. He also signaled that he was aware of the ongoing speculation, which leaves Liverpool having to plan around a possible departure even after securing the extra year option on the keeper’s deal.

Slot and Liverpool’s planning

That matters because Liverpool are already in talks with potential transfer targets ahead of the summer. If Alisson moves on, the club would be dealing with one of its most important roster questions while the market is still active, not after it has closed.

The 2024 link to Anthony Gordon shows how Liverpool’s summer planning has already been moving in more than one direction. They came close to signing him then, but there are currently no plans to revive that interest, even as Gordon looks set to leave St James’ Park this summer and a move to Bayern Munich gains momentum this week.

Gordon and the wider market

Bayern are still some way off Newcastle’s valuation for Gordon, which leaves that deal unresolved. For Liverpool, though, the main story is the goalkeeper in advanced Juventus talks and the uncertainty around whether the club enters next season with Alisson still in place or having to replace him.
