For Juventus, the operation has now become definitively complicated unless there are any developments on the player’s side.”The message then appears to be clear. The club are fighting to keep their world‑class goalkeeper, Slot has made his wishes crystal clear, and unless Alisson himself dramatically changes course, Juventus may have to shelve their dream of seeing him between the posts in black and white next season.It will likely not be the last we hear of Juventus this summer however, as the Italian giants are also said to be interested in Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson.
