Alisson Becker’s long-term future at Liverpool has been cast into doubt ahead of the goalkeeper entering the final year of his contract at Anfield.Juventus were linked with the Brazilian earlier this month, with one report even going as far as to claim that Alisson has said ‘yes’ to a move to the Italian giants ahead of the summer transfer window getting underway.However, a move to the Turin-based outfit, or any other Serie A club for that matter, has been cast into doubt due to the finances involved in landing the Liverpool star.

Hence the skepticism of his own entourage, following a series of discussions in recent weeks with several Serie A big clubs.” Are Liverpool making the right call by sticking with Arne Slot? 🤔 What does he need to do to get the fans and players back on side?Credit: Stuart Franklin/UEFA/Getty Images When is Alisson back from injury?If he is to move in the summer transfer window, Alisson will have, at most, a handful of games left to play at Liverpool.The Brazilian has been out of action for the Reds’ last six matches across all competitions, but a return could be on the cards this week.After replacing the injured Giorgi Mamardashvili midway through the Everton game at the weekend, Freddie Woodman hinted Alisson could be back against Crystal Palace this Saturday.Woodman said: “I’m not sure about that! [starting against Palace]. Ali if he plays is the best goalkeeper in the world, so I hope he’s back fit, I hope Giorgi is going to recover well.“I’ll just keep doing my role as best as I can and that’s exactly what I’ve tried to do all season.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
