Liverpool signed goalkeeper Alisson for a record $ 75 million, subject to a medical examination. The goalkeeper will visit England Wednesday night and should be treated Saturday.
The Premier League club made Tuesday an initial bid of 70 million euros for the Brazilian, which was rejected, but the clubs have now reached an agreement. . Liverpool and Roma have agreed on the final details of the transfer on Wednesday, with an additional € 5 million to pay over two years.
Chelsea was ready to leave for Alisson if Thibaut Courtois departed but Liverpool acted quickly to secure their number-one goalkeeper goal. Chelsea had, on Wednesday at lunch time, not done d & # 39; offer. Alisson met with Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp on Tuesday, and his heart turned to the finalists in the Champions League.
The Brazilian international will replace Loris Karius as number 1 of Klopp. The goalkeeper position has been problematic at the club for many years and neither Karius nor Simon Mignolet have convinced the German manager that they are a long-term solution.
Alisson joined Roma de Internacional in 2016 for 7.5 M €. He spent the first season reinforcing Wojciech Szczesny and did not play in a league game. Last season, after the Pole's departure for Juventus, Alisson became the first choice and helped the Roma reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they were eliminated by Liverpool.
Alisson is Liverpool's fourth summer season after the arrival of Naby Keïta of RB Leipzig (£ 52.8m), Fabinho of Monaco (£ 40m) and Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke City (13th, £ 5 million). Alisson's fees are a record for a goalkeeper, eclipsing the € 53m paid by Juventus for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001 and the € 40m that cost Manchester City the purchase of Ederson in Benfica last summer.
