Inter have joined Juventus in the race for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker, as the Brazilian international emerges as a high-profile candidate for a return to Serie A.
According to La Repubblica, as relayed by Calciomercato, the Nerazzurri are closely monitoring the situation as they begin to look for a successor to Yann Sommer. Liverpool are unlikely to stand in the way of a potential transfer, appearing open to a sale should the right offer arrive this summer.
However, the primary hurdle for both Inter and Juventus remains the financial commitment required to land the former Roma man. Alisson currently earns roughly €5m per season at Anfield, a figure that is considered a significant burden for the two Italian giants in the current economic climate.
Despite his previous success and familiarity with the Italian top flight, these wage demands could ultimately hold back a move. Both clubs are weighing up whether the sporting guarantee provided by the 33-year-old justifies such a heavy investment as they prepare for a summer of calculated maneuvers.
