Both Inter and Juventus have been linked with moves for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker in recent weeks, but the Bianconeri feel they can match the Brazilian’s wage demands and hope Luciano Spalletti will also be a compelling factor.

The Nerazzurri are expected to part ways with stopper Yann Sommer, 37, once his contract expires at the end of the season, with Juventus unconvinced by the performances of Michele Di Gregorio, who has lost his number one status in recent weeks.

Unsurprisingly, a similar set of potential targets have emerged for both clubs. Guglielmo Vicario is an option for both teams, as is Liverpool’s Alisson. Reports on Thursday claimed that Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez could also be a possibility for the Bianconeri.

However, reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport on Friday claim that Alisson is the most “reliable” option for Juventus.

The Brazilian is still under contract with Liverpool until the end of the 2026-27 season, but Juventus are hopeful the Premier League side can approve a sale given Alisson will enter the final year of his contract in the summer and they already have his replacement in Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Juventus is also not discouraged by Alisson’s salary demands. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he currently earns a net salary of around €6 million per season at Anfield, which would not go beyond Juve’s current salary structure.

Apart from Dusan Vlahovic, whose significant contract is set to expire this summer, Juventus intends to keep all of its players on salaries below €7 million per season, according to Friday’s report.

There is also the Spalletti factor for Alisson, who worked with the current Bianconeri coach at Roma. La Gazzetta dello Sport writes that if Spalletti manages to convince the Brazilian to join this summer, negotiations with Liverpool will become a “downhill slope.”
