Liverpool confirms Alisson will stay blocks Juventus move

Liverpool have definitively blocked goalkeeper Alisson from joining Juventus this summer, informing the player and the Italian club of their decision to retain him for the upcoming season. The Brazilian international, whose contract was automatically extended until 2027, will remain at Anfield despite significant interest from Juventus.

The Serie A side had aggressively pursued the 33-year-old, offering him a longer-term contract reportedly spanning two or three years. Alisson, who held discussions with Juventus and his former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti, was said to be tempted by the move. However, Liverpool’s management, including head coach Arne Slot, have made a final decision to rely on the veteran shot-stopper for another campaign. The club has communicated directly with Alisson’s camp to confirm he remains a central part of their plans.

Sources indicate Alisson will respect the club’s stance and is not prepared to force an exit against Liverpool’s wishes, valuing his legacy at the club. His position could only change if he formally requested a transfer, but that scenario is currently not anticipated.
