Liverpool have directly told Alisson in the last 24 hours that they want him to stay, even as Juventus keep working on a summer move. The Italian club made an opening offer worth €5m and had already offered him a longer deal in April. Goal.com now says Liverpool are increasingly confident he will remain at Anfield next season.

Why Liverpool are pushing back

Fabrizio Romano's reporting leaves little doubt about where Liverpool stand. He said the club told Alisson, "we want you to stay, we want you to be our goalkeeper, we believe in you". In another update, Romano added that the only way the goalkeeper goes to Juventus is if he goes to Liverpool and says, "let me go, I want to go".

That makes this less about a straight club-to-club sale and more about whether Alisson wants the move himself. Romano said Liverpool's management and coach, Arne Slot, believe Alisson has to stay and continue.

The case for keeping him is not hard to see. His Premier League rating is 6.78, while he is at 7.18 in the Champions League. He also made 35 all-comp appearances across league, Europe and cups, so this has not been a season of total absence.

Why Juventus are still trying

Juventus have a reason to keep pressing. They finished sixth in Serie A and are still searching for the right first-choice goalkeeper. The opening bid, reported at €5m, is not the sort of offer that forces Liverpool's hand on its own, but it does show the size of the gap between the clubs' positions.

There is also a separate question around the contract reporting. Different outlets have framed the deal in different ways, with some saying Liverpool triggered a 12-month extension earlier this year and others saying the extension takes him to 2027. Juventus, meanwhile, have been linked with a longer agreement of their own. The only clean read is that the contract picture is still being reported in conflicting ways.

What matters more right now is that Liverpool are resisting the move, and the latest reports say they are getting more confident that Alisson will stay. If Juventus want to turn that around, they need Alisson to make the first move himself, not just keep talking to the club.
