With Slot sacked, Alisson Becker future has changed

The situation at Liverpool has descended into uncertainty, with growing concerns inside the club that the Reds have abandoned the clear sporting vision that guided them throughout the past decade.

According to reports from Tuttosport, a series of managerial and strategic U-turns has created instability at Anfield, potentially reopening Juventus’ pursuit of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

The latest shock came with the departure of Arne Slot. Officially presented as a mutual contract termination, reports emerging from England suggest the Dutch coach was actually dismissed in a surprising decision that caught many by surprise—including Slot himself.

Before his exit, Slot had reportedly played a key role in convincing sporting director Richard Hughes to keep Alisson Becker at Liverpool and block a move to Juventus.

The Dutchman was concerned about the anticipated departures of key leaders such as Andy Robertson, Mohamed Salah, and Ibrahima Konaté, fearing that losing Alisson as well would severely weaken the dressing room’s leadership core.

Slot Exit Changes the Landscape

Alisson had already begun planning for a move to Turin. The Brazilian goalkeeper had held multiple conversations with Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti, while his representatives had reportedly reached an agreement with the Bianconeri over personal terms.

Liverpool’s sudden change of direction left the player surprised. The club had even instructed the representatives of Giorgi Mamardashvili, previously viewed as Alisson’s long-term successor, to find a temporary loan destination for the Georgian international, signaling that the Brazilian would remain the club’s first-choice goalkeeper.

However, Slot’s departure has once again created uncertainty. While the coaching change alone may not immediately alter Alisson’s future, Juventus are closely monitoring developments reports Tuttosport.

Much could depend on who takes charge at Liverpool, with Andoni Iraola currently considered the leading candidate.

Juventus Keep Alternatives Ready

What gives Juventus hope is the growing speculation surrounding Liverpool’s executive structure.

According to the latest reports, sporting director Richard Hughes is considering a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, a departure that would significantly reshape the club’s decision-making process.

Alisson’s position remains clear. The Brazilian is reportedly willing to stay at Liverpool only if he receives guarantees that he will remain the undisputed starter throughout next season.

Should the club continue delaying a definitive decision regarding the goalkeeping hierarchy, he could once again push for a transfer.

For now, Juventus remain on standby, waiting to see whether circumstances create an opportunity to reopen negotiations with Liverpool. At the same time, the Italian giants are exploring alternative options.

In the coming days, Damien Comolli is expected to hold talks with Fiorentina regarding David de Gea.

The Spanish veteran could be available for a fee between €5 million and €10 million, as the Viola look to reduce their wage bill and rejuvenate their squad.

Another name under consideration is Alexander Nübel. The German goalkeeper is set to return to Bayern Munich after an impressive season with Stuttgart and could be available for around €15 million, either on a permanent transfer or through a loan deal containing a conditional obligation to buy.

As Liverpool’s uncertainty continues, Juventus remain alert, knowing that the Alisson saga may not be over just yet.
