Liverpool's Champions League ambitions have been rocked by the news that Alisson will miss the first leg of their last-16 clash against Galatasaray. The Brazilian shot-stopper, who is still widely considered to be one of the world's top goalkeepers, was a notable absentee as the Reds confirmed their 21-man travelling squad for the daunting trip to Istanbul.

Inter and Juventus are gearing up for an intense transfer battle this summer as both Serie A giants prioritise signing a world-class goalkeeper. With both clubs facing defensive uncertainties, recent reports indicate that Liverpool star Alisson Becker has emerged as their primary target. A return to Italy for the Brazilian could finally solve their respective goalkeeping crises.

Juventus are preparing for a massive shake-up between the sticks this summer after losing faith in Michele Di Gregorio. The Bianconeri are reportedly scouring the Premier League for a high-profile replacement, with Liverpool’s Alisson Becker emerging as a shock target alongside Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario. While Di Gregorio arrived from Monza with high expectations, a nightmare run of form has left the Old Lady’s hierarchy convinced that a world-class upgrade is required to restore the club's traditional defensive solidity.

Liverpool threw away victory in the final 10 minutes against Manchester City as they slipped to a 2-1 defeat on Sunday. Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick put the Reds in front in the second half, but late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland turned the game on its head as the Reds lost ground to Manchester United and Chelsea in the top-four race.

Liverpool have been warned that allowing Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson to leave Anfield would be a huge mistake. Former Reds custodian Brad Friedel has told GOAL why the South American shot-stopper would take years to replace - with Manchester United being used as an example of why “every ounce” must be squeezed out of reliable No.1s.
