Liverpool Given Signal to Trigger Massive Alisson Becker Sale

Liverpool has been given the signal they needed to trigger a massive sale of Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been linked with a move to Juventus, but it now appears that the Saudi Pro League would quite like him. Alisson is open to the move, and all it would take is the right offer.

What happened?

The news comes after Liverpool's interest in selling Alisson Becker was sparked last week. There had been talk of a move to Juventus before the season ended, but it went nowhere after the Old Lady failed to offer enough. However, the Saudi Pro League is now interested in the Brazilian goalkeeper.

Why it matters for Alisson Becker

If Liverpool decides to sell Alisson Becker, they will need to act quickly. The player remains their number one goalkeeper, and selling him would necessitate a new replacement. One option for that is Porto's Diogo Costa, who is unquestionably one of the best goalkeepers around right now.

What comes next?

Costa is gettable, in other words, should Liverpool want him. He boasts a £51m release clause in his contract, which is a significant amount of money. However, if Liverpool wants to sell Alisson Becker, they must make up their minds quickly. If they want to trigger a release clause, they must do it ASAP while a player like Costa is available to replace him.

Liverpool is a club who may well trigger that clause. Alisson could leave quite late in the window, leaving little time for a replacement. This would necessarily matter if they plan to trigger a release clause. But they can only do that if Costa is still available and Porto are teetering.

A sale to Chelsea feels very real. Porto are worried that they'll have to accept £38m from Chelsea this summer, which is far below the release clause. The main fear is that a big club will eventually trigger the clause very late in the window. This would leave Porto without the requisite time to replace their goalkeeper.

Thus, accepting the lower offer now is the safer option, even if it's the least lucrative. Liverpool must make up their minds. If they want to sell Alisson Becker, it has to happen ASAP while a player like Costa is there to replace him.

The Saudi Pro League's interest in Alisson Becker is a significant development. The player is open to the move, and all it would take is the right offer. However, Liverpool must act quickly to sell him. If they want to trigger a release clause, they must do it ASAP while a player like Costa is available to replace him.

In the end, it's a matter of when, not if, Liverpool will sell Alisson Becker. The question is, will they be able to replace him with a player of similar quality? Only time will tell.
