Surprise Liverpool deal opens door to finally sign elusive star Liverpool's next deal appears ready to open the door to one who previously got away. It increasingly looks as though Alisson Becker will leave Liverpool this summer. The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus over the last few months.

Alisson's contract will expire in 2027, with the Reds having triggered an option to extend it beyond this summer. But it appears they did that simply to get a transfer fee for the goalkeeper. Juventus are ready to sign him and Gazzetta Dello Sport claims they're getting closer to doing so.

It's a deal that creates an interesting situation for Liverpool, too. Michele Di Gregorio is the current no. 1 for Juve and would be replaced with Alisson here.

It means he is free to leave the club, having only signed for them back in 2024. And interestingly, Di Gregorio rejected a move to Liverpool in order to head to the Old Lady. That's been confirmed by his agent ( Football Italia ).
