Liverpool boss Arne Slot has addressed the possibility of goalkeeper Alisson Becker leaving Anfield this summerArne Slot admits Liverpool could have a decision to make over the future of Alisson Becker this summer amid ongoing interest in the goalkeeper.Alisson has emerged as a target for Juventus with reports in Italy this week claiming the player's representatives will hold talks with the Serie A club over the weekend.Liverpool recently exercised their option to extend the 33-year-old's contract by another year, which would prevent the player - who has been at the club since 2018 - from leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season.Alisson has become increasingly hampered by hamstring issues and is likely to remain on the sidelines for Saturday's Premier League visit of Crystal Palace, with Freddie Woodman poised for his first top-flight start since 2021 with regular deputy Giorgi Mamardashvili ruled out injured.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE! All the latest news and analysis from Anfield on the Liverpool Echo's dedicated LFC Facebook pageLiverpool are already facing another squad overhaul in the coming transfer window with experienced duo Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah both departing.And asked if the Reds could afford to see another veteran leave, Slot said: "I think the club is run in a certain way and we make decisions that the club thinks are in the best interests of the club.

It could mean another good argument why we acted how we acted."I think the history of all the transfers shows that nothing was done without a purpose or without thinking about it."Look, the people who make these decisions take everything into account. In the end, he still has one year."Successive Premier League wins mean Liverpool now require nine points from their remaining five games to ensure a top-five berth and Champions League qualification.Slot, though, is refusing to gauge the success or otherwise of such an achievement with what he regards a difficult job having not been completed."I would love to say a lot about that after we qualify, which is not as easy as people think at this moment because for a long time people were questioning, questioning, questioning and now all of a sudden people think it is 'job done' but it definitely isn’t," he said."Two weeks ago we were in a very difficult place and two weeks on we are in a good place, so that means in this Premier League in two weeks things can be different."We all know difficult Palace is, we all know how difficult United away is, we all know Chelsea, Villa away and then Brentford to go.

So a tough fixture list but everyone has a tough fixture list as every fixture is tough."Palace could become the first team in history to beat Liverpool four times in a single season having already downed the Reds in the Community Shield, the League Cup and in the league meeting at Selhurst Park.But Slot has detailed how the dramatic nature of last Sunday's derby win at Everton has provided fresh impetus around the training ground."I think we’ve had big moments that have either got us a setback straight afterwards – making it 3-2 at Leeds and 2-1 at Fulham were big moments – but they ended up as draws, or we had big wins but then straight afterwards I had two or three injuries again," he said."Unfortunately that also happened against Everton, where we had that big moment and could celebrate with the fans and there was a great interaction but then Giorgi Mamardashvili is out."But I think we have all felt the positivity around the club this week. I wouldn’t say for the first time this season but not as many times as we were hoping for this season."We have to bring that momentum towards Crystal Palace.
