Juventus Considering Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk as Potential Free Agents

According to Tuttosport, Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti and technical director Frederic Massara are familiar with Alisson from their time together at Roma. They are confident in his abilities and believe they can persuade him to join Turin for a lower salary than his current gross annual wage of £13 million at Liverpool.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus officials attended a match between the Netherlands and Germany in Amsterdam to scout both Van Dijk and Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey. Juventus views Van Dijk as a strong candidate for a defensive leader to replace Gleison Bremer, should he leave the club. However, they intend to evaluate his fitness before making any official move.

Historically, Juventus has excelled in the free-agent market, although this trend has diminished in recent years. This season, their only free signing was Zeki Çelik. The previous year saw Jonathan David as the only Bosman arrival, while Paul Pogba and Ángel Di María joined for free four summers ago.

Given the current financial landscape of European football, it is crucial for Juventus to regain expertise in acquiring free agents. By successfully targeting and signing players next summer, they could significantly enhance their chances of competing for the Serie A title.
