Juventus make contact for Alisson
Juventus have made initial contact over a potential move for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
Alisson has remained Liverpool's No. 1 this season but, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2027, his long-term future at Anfield is uncertain - especially with Giorgi Mamardashvili sitting patiently in the ranks.
Luciano Spalletti is reportedly expected to extend his contract with Juve and a goalkeeper is said to be among his priorities.
The Italian outlet reports: "Alisson has opened the door to a move to Juventus and optimism is reportedly growing within the Bianconeri camp.
"This initial 'yes' is significant - though obviously not yet enough to seal the deal - but it is essential and by no means a given.
"The Brazilian has been at Liverpool since 2018 and, after eight seasons in England, he is intrigued by the prospect of one last stint in Italy, where he was a key player between 2016 and 2018: his first season as [Wojciech] Szczesny’s backup (with Spalletti on the bench) and his second as the starter, with the Polish goalkeeper having since moved to Juventus to prepare for the post-Buffon era."
Real Madrid mulling Olise move
Michael Olise could be the subject of summer interest from Real Madrid, CFBayerninsider reports.
Olise has been a standout performer for Vincent Kompany's side this season, key to their efforts as they sit nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and holding an advantage over Real in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
His impressive return of direct goal contributions - 16 goals and 29 assists - has earned him a reputation as one of the best forwards in world football and the report suggests Real president Florentino Perez is a huge admirer.

The site reports: "My sources have confirmed that Florentino Perez is keen to pursue a deal for Olise this summer, and after witnessing this level of performance, Madrid are even more determined to step up their efforts to bring him to the Bernabeu.
"Madrid are thinking of a €160m-165m [£137.9m-142.2m] offer for Olise, but Bayern are under pressure to sell him as the Frenchman has no release clause in his contract.
"The Bavarian giants have made it clear that they will not sell their prized asset even if they receive an offer in the region of €200m. This is something I reported CF Bayern Insider last month, and the situation hasn’t changed."
Neymar's Santos future uncertain
AS Diario reports that Neymar's future at boyhood club Santos is uncertain because they owe him £13 million.
Neymar rejoined Santos in January 2025 after a torrid spell with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, which was blighted by an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
But a report first published by Diario do Peixe revealed Santos now owes Neymar a significant sum in relation to the player's image rights.
AS reports: "The report, first published by Diario do Peixe, states that the debt was stipulated in a contract addendum signed in late 2025 between the club and the player, as part of the renegotiation of the amount owed by the club for Neymar’s image rights.
"Santos owes approximately €4,378,400m from the expired contract, and those payments were due in the first five months of this year. The remaining €10,861,800m will be paid starting in June, and the club is confident it can settle this debt by 2030, even though Neymar’s contract ends on December 31 of this year.
"The payment, which Santos must make to NR Sports, a company owned by Neymar’s family, does not allow for a single delay in the monthly payments. The leaked document states that if that were to occur, the entire payment would have to be made in advance."

Championship ace subject of widespread interest
Watford star Imran Louza is the subject of interest from clubs in the Premier League and the Middle East, Foot Mercato reports.
Louza has been a crucial member of Watford's team in the Championship this season, recording seven goals and 10 assists in 39 matches from midfield.
After Watford reportedly fended off interest in the 26-year-old in January, Foot Mercato reports that more suitors will emerge in the summer.
The website reports: "Naturally, such a profile – ultra-dominant defensively, number one in 'possession won' in the league (this refers to the total number of tackles, aerial duels won, interceptions, blocked crosses, and clearances) and clinical in attack – attracts attention.
"This winter, Watford had to fend off advances: two Ligue 1 clubs approached the management about a loan, and a Premier League side reportedly made a €10 million offer in the final hours of the transfer window. But the situation will change this summer.
"Under contract until June 2028 and valued at around €14 million, Imran Louza is happy at Watford but remains attentive to the market. According to an English source, two Premier League clubs have already made inquiries. Meanwhile, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Qatar are seriously considering making a move."
