Recent reports suggest that Juventus’ pursuit of Liverpool’s Alisson Becker is encountering significant hurdles, prompting the Bianconeri to consider signing former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea from Fiorentina as an alternative.
Juventus is expected to make changes to their goalkeeping lineup this summer, with at least one of their current keepers, Mattia Perin or Michele Di Gregorio, likely to depart. For some time, the Italian club has been linked with Alisson, whose contract at Anfield is set to enter its final year. Liverpool might be open to his departure under the right conditions.
However, Alisson’s current salary of approximately €8 million per season plus bonuses, combined with a reported transfer fee of around €15 million plus potential signing-on fees, presents a substantial financial challenge for Juventus.
In contrast, De Gea, currently at Fiorentina, appears to be a more financially viable option. He reportedly earns €3.5 million per season in Tuscany, and Fiorentina is reportedly considering his sale to help manage their wage expenses.
According to Tuttosport, Fiorentina could entertain offers in the region of €10 million for the Spanish goalkeeper. De Gea has played 68 Serie A matches over the past two seasons and is a four-time recipient of Manchester United’s player of the year award.
