Juventus have added Alisson Becker to their list of summer targets as they look to strengthen in goal.With several key figures from the Jurgen Klopp era already gone, Alisson could be the next to move on. Giorgi Mamardashvili was brought in last summer as his eventual replacement, though the Brazilian has remained first choice so far.Mamardashvili’s role was always expected to grow over time, but that transition could be accelerated if Juventus decide to make a formal approach during the upcoming window.Why Juventus have reason to believe in Alisson Becker transferPhoto by Marc Atkins/Getty ImagesThese links are surfacing because of the poor displays by current Juventus stopper Michele Di Gregorio.A report from La Gazzetta Dello Sport claims he and Spurs keeper Vicario are the top choices, alongside AC Milan’s Mike Maignan.The final decision will come down to their financial situation, with Alisson being seen as a more affordable option compared to some of the alternatives.The report names two factors that could see negotiations ‘favour’ the Turin outfit.Firstly, that Liverpool already have their future starting goalkeeper at Anfield.Secondly, Alisson’s contract expires at the end of the season.

There is an option to extend for a further year, but even then, a 12-month contract wouldn’t be enough to force Juve to break the bank.There’s also another factor — a more personal one — that could tempt Alisson into making the move.Alisson has history with Juventus boss Luciano SpallettiAlisson spent time in Italy before establishing himself at Liverpool, and he has previous connections with the current Juventus manager.The Brazilian was working under Spalletti during his early days at Roma, where he started to break into the first team.Back then, Alisson was behind Wojciech Szczesny in the pecking order but played a key role in cup competitions as Roma went on to win silverware.It’s still unclear what Alisson wants for his future, but if he is considering a move away from Anfield, a switch to Juve would make sense given his background and ties within Italian football.However, Liverpool may see value in keeping him around. Despite the arrival of Mamardashvili, Alisson isn’t past it yet, and having both compete could benefit Slot’s squad depth.Join Our NewsletterReceive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox
