Juventus are targeting Zion Suzuki as a one-year loan from Paris Saint Germain while keeping Alisson as the long-term prize for 2027. The Italian club want the Brazilian on a free transfer when his Liverpool contract expires in June 2027, which turns their goalkeeper search into a two-step plan rather than a single move.
Juventus' short-term goalkeeper fix
The immediate idea is simple enough. Juventus want Suzuki as a stop-gap for one season, and PSG are expected to pay €30 million for him, with up to €5 million in performance-related add-ons.
That leaves Juventus free to keep their focus on Alisson, even if the wait is long. The club have had to accept that an immediate sale is not on the table, so the appeal is tied to the contract clock and a free transfer next summer.
Juventus’ recent run also gives some context to why they are planning ahead. They have five wins in their last 10 matches, enough to stay competitive, but not enough to suggest the position in goal can be left alone.
Why Liverpool still want Alisson
Liverpool's stance explains the delay. Andoni Iraola told goal.com: "We need role models within the dressing room, such as Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and Joe Gomez, players who have spent many years at the club."
He also said: "I believe he will be an extremely important element in helping the new players adapt, whether they are experienced or young players."
Those comments fit the numbers too. Alisson has made 333 appearances for Liverpool and kept 140 clean sheets, while also reaching 83 caps for Brazil. That is not the profile of a keeper Liverpool are going to replace lightly, and it is why Juventus are talking about 2027 rather than trying to force the issue now.
The contract detail is the key one to keep in mind. Alisson's Liverpool deal runs to 2027, and that leaves Juventus waiting on a free transfer rather than negotiating with a club that still sees him as part of its core leadership group.
Luciano Spalletti's past work with Alisson at Roma is also part of the attraction, according to Football Italia, but the main reality remains the same. Juventus are lining up Suzuki for now and keeping Alisson in the frame for June 2027.
