Liverpool’s difficult season continued in midweek as they were beaten 2-0 by PSG in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué secured a comfortable win for the Parisians, piling further pressure on a side already struggling for consistency.
That defeat followed a heavy FA Cup quarter-final loss to Manchester City, while their league form has left them fifth despite significant investment last summer.
With expectations high and results falling short, tensions are beginning to grow at Anfield — and now there are concerns that one of their most important players could be considering his future.
Alisson Open to Serie A Return
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is reportedly open to leaving the club this summer, with interest mounting from Serie A giants.
The Brazilian — described as “immense” by former Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole — remains one of the most highly regarded goalkeepers in world football, but his long-term future is now uncertain despite being under contract until 2027.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have moved ahead of Inter Milan in the race for his signature and have already initiated discussions with his representatives. Early talks are said to have been positive, with the Turin club exploring the possibility of offering the 33-year-old a three-year deal.
A return to Italy could appeal to Alisson, who previously starred for Roma and is familiar with the league. Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti is also believed to be a strong admirer, further fuelling speculation that a move could materialise in the coming months.
While Liverpool would be reluctant to lose such an influential figure, the growing interest — combined with Alisson’s reported openness to a new challenge — has put his situation firmly in the spotlight.
Losing Alisson would represent a major blow for Liverpool, given his status as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and a cornerstone of their recent success. Whether the club can convince him to stay amid a turbulent campaign remains to be seen, but if Juventus or Inter follow through with concrete offers, this could quickly become one of the summer’s biggest transfer stories.
