Juventus appeared to be closing in on the Liverpool shot-stopper but a new update has shifted the narrative. Image Credits: Imago ImagesReports linking Juventus with Alisson Becker have increased in recent weeks.With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson’s departures already confirmed, Liverpool would lose an awful lot on and off the pitch if a third senior figure was to depart.The future of the Brazilian has been thrown into deep uncertainty with Arne Slot not ruling out the possibility of an exit for the goalkeeper this summer in a recent press conference.He said: “The people who make these decisions take everything into account.
They try to make the best decisions with the interest of the club.”“It [experience] is definitely one argument to keep him but there are other arguments. That is a decision the club has to make if that is needed.
In the end, he still has one year [on his contract].”Liverpool triggered the one-year extension on Alisson Becker’s contract in March, tying him until the end of the 2026/27 season and ensuring that he didn’t leave on a free this summer.A signifcant update on Alisson’s situation has now arrived that puts a much more positive spin on proceedings.According to winwinsports, a source close to Alisson has revealed that the 33-year-old will stay at Liverpool beyond this summer.The report states: “All indications are that he will stay at Liverpool, he feels very happy at the club!”If the words of this source are to believed, that puts an end to any potential move to Juventus at least until 2027.Alisson’s injury record over the last two seasons has been an issue but he is still widely regarded at the club as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.The Brazilian missed 16 games last season and has surpassed that number this season due to a multitude of fitness issues.But with that being said, he has been vital to Liverpool’s success over the last decade and it would be unwise for the club to sanction his departure this summer.
