The 33-year-old Brazilian had been one of the most discussed potential departures at Liverpool throughout the spring, with Juventus offering him a two-year deal with the option of a third.
Multiple reports had indicated Alisson was tempted by the move, and it had appeared as though his final Anfield appearance might have been the 1-1 draw with Brentford on the final day of the Premier League season.
Liverpool subsequently activated a contract clause to extend his deal to June 2027, giving the club stronger leverage in any negotiation. Before Slot's sacking, multiple reliable sources reported that Alisson had decided not to force an exit and that Liverpool intended to keep him for the coming season.
Tuttosport's claim is that Slot himself had been instrumental in persuading the club's sporting hierarchy to hold firm โ and that the appointment of a new manager, expected to be Andoni Iraola, could result in a different position being taken on Alisson's future.
Whether Iraola, who has not yet formally taken the job, would share the same view as Slot remains to be established. Liverpool have not changed their stated public position, which is that Alisson will remain at the club.
Juventus finished fifth in Serie A this season, missing Champions League qualification, and face a significant summer rebuild under head coach Luciano Spalletti. Signing a goalkeeper of Alisson's calibre without European football to offer as a lure represents an additional complication in what has already been a protracted pursuit.
