Not just Barcola: Liverpool lining up deal for another PSG star The prospect of Alisson Becker leaving Liverpool suddenly looks very real. The 33-year-old only signed a fresh contract extension a matter of weeks ago - tying him to the club until 2027. But transfer noise around a potential move to Juventus simply won’t go away.

The Italian giants appear adamant about signing the Brazil No1 - with the Old Lady now coached by Alisson’s former Roma boss Luciano Spalletti. Juve are prepared to offer Alisson a lucrative “2+1” deal - two years guaranteed with the option of a third. Given his age that might be too tempting for Alisson to turn down - but it remains to be seen whether Richard Hughes compromises on a transfer fee.

The Turin club would ideally like him for free - but a report in Tutto Juve puts the potential fee at €10m. Liverpool looking at deal for Chevalier Giorgi Mamardashvili is already in place as a replacement - but it looks like Liverpool decision-makers are not altogether comfortable in making the Georgian No1 going forward. Instead they are combing the market for reinforcements - with the Tutto Juve report claiming that Lucas Chevalier is high on the Premier League champions’ list.

The 24-year-old was Gianluigi Donnarumma’s replacement at Paris Saint-Germain last summer - signing from Lille for around €40m. But the France international has had a shaky start for the treble winners - ceding his place in the team to Matvey Safanov. Despite a contract until 2030 Chevalier could be sold by Luis Enrique this summer and Liverpool could be prepared to do a deal.
