Juventus plan to sign Alisson on a free transfer from Liverpool

Juventus have developed a strategy to secure Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson for free by utilizing a loan move for Zion Suzuki in the interim.

Juventus are developing a strategy to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson on a free transfer. The Italian club intends to wait until the Brazilian's current contract expires in 2027 to secure his services without a fee.

To bridge the gap until Alisson becomes available, Juventus are targeting Zion Suzuki. The club aims to sign Suzuki on a one-year loan to address their immediate need for a goalkeeper. This move is designed to provide Suzuki with the playing time he requires while solving Juventus's short-term search for a new number one.

This shift in strategy follows difficulties in securing both Alisson and Suzuki directly. Suzuki is currently nearing a move to Paris Saint-Germain. If that transfer is completed, Juventus plan to request him on loan from the French side for the upcoming season.

Luciano Spalletti holds the Brazilian goalkeeper in high regard. While Liverpool have resisted transfer attempts during the summer window, Juventus appear prepared to wait for the player's contract situation to change. The plan relies on the timeline of Alisson's deal running out next summer.

However, the success of this approach depends on several factors. Paris Saint-Germain must agree to a loan deal for Suzuki, which remains uncertain. The French club may have different intentions for the player following his arrival, or they may prefer a different loan destination.

Juventus must now navigate these variables to execute their plan. The strategy involves waiting for Suzuki to join PSG, securing him on loan, and then moving for Alisson once his Liverpool contract concludes.
