Liverpool Pause Alisson Talks as Juventus Interest Reemerges

The club will monitor first-team form and fitness across the season, a cautious approach that raises the prospect of the goalkeeper leaving on a free next summer.

Overview

  • Reports on Thursday said Liverpool have not started formal contract talks with Alisson and expect negotiations to be delayed until later in the season.
  • The club triggered a one-year option earlier in 2026 to keep Alisson under contract through 2026/27 rather than agree a longer deal.
  • Alisson remains the first-choice keeper and has started every match so far while continuing to produce important saves for the team.
  • Liverpool have signed Giorgi Mamardashvili and invested in teen prospect Lucca Brughmans and will evaluate both across the campaign as succession options.
  • Juventus’ worsening goalkeeping depth after Kamil Grabara’s long-term injury could prompt renewed interest and January pre-contract rules mean foreign clubs could open talks if Alisson reaches the final six months of his deal.
