Klopp has now reacted and seems ready to beat the bank to sign the coveted international Brazilian, who would also have been interesting as Real and Chelsea. But is the goalkeeper the solution to the long-standing quest for a Liverpool shot stop?
With the help of Sky Italy, we see why the player is so highly rated, how he compared to his rivals, and if it would be a success in the Premier League. ..
What was the rise of Alisson at the top?
The Brazilian debuted at Internacional in 2013, where he fought the competition of the experienced Dida at He became the club's number 1, before joining Roma three years later for € 7.5m.
Alisson did not appear at all in Serie A during his first campaign at Stadio Olimpico, but as a dubber of Wojciech Szczesny. Alisson began his career with Internacional in his native country ” itemprop=”image”/>
Alisson began his career with Internacional in his native country.
However, Szczesny's departure from Roma last summer, associated with Eusebio Di Francesco replacing Luciano Spalletti as head coach of the club, saw Alisson promoted to first choice this season.
"If I had not been guaranteed to play, I would have asked to leave Rome," revealed Alisson in September
How was his form last season?
"When the Roma sold Szczesny to Juventus (the Polish international returned to Arsenal from a loan to Roma before joining Juve permanently), the club already knew that Alisson was a better goalkeeper, "says Augusto De Bartolo of Italy's Sky ." Last season he was one of the best goalkeepers of Serie A, if not the best now that Gianluigi Buffon is at the end of his career.
"If Roma had the second best defense of the league last season, that was due to Alisson's abilities. Statistically speaking, he had the highest percentage of saves (79.26%) and was the goalkeeper who not only stopped the most shots, but also the one who saved the most dangerous shots in high flight . "
are his main strengths?
" The Brazilian has many skills that are not common to all goalies – his main strength is the ability to be in the right position to cover much of the goal, "says De Bartolo." If you watch his moves in a game, especially when the attackers come down to the goal, he always adjusts his position according to the movement of the ball. And this allows him to cover a large part of the goal.

"Another of his great strengths is the cast and in this respect he is considered as good as his compatriot and Man City No.1 Ederson, especially when
He is the number 1 of the number 1. It is worth as much as Messi because it is as important as Messi, he is the type of goalkeeper who can define an era.

"And finally, Alisson excels in anticipation, as noted the former boss of Brazil, Carlos Dunga. The goalkeeper thinks like an attacker and tries to anticipate if the opponent from before dribbling or shooting, and how he will shoot: near the ground, in the air, with power, and in which direction. "
What about his" In fact, it's hard to find weaknesses in Alisson, he's the complete goalkeeper, "adds De Bartolo." The Brazilian charismatic is also a very caring guardian modern and all in 6 ft. 3in is not too big for anyone in his position, and maybe a slight problem in England with cross, his ability to anticipate should compensate that. "
But statistically, how does it compare to its rivals? Great for the Roma in Serie A last season, conceding only 28 goals in 37 matches – including 17 without fail – figures well above those of Karius.

As noted above, the percentage of 25-year-old athlete's savings is slightly less than 80% – against 68.89% for Karius – the third last five European leagues last season.
Perhaps the most crucial of all, however, Alisson did not make a single mistake leading to a goal in the high Italian flight in the previous campaign.
Who is the No. 1 of Brazil?
Alisson made his international debut in a World Cup Qualification against Venezuela in 2015 and has since won 31 caps for the five-time world champions.
Despite the fact that Dunga – who gave him his first cap – was replaced by Brazi Lonné by Tite in June 2016 and Alisson warmed on the bench during his first campaign in Roma, the player remained the first choice of his country.
"Certainly, Alisson is a big loss for us, because he's a good guy, was an important part of the dynamics of the locker room and we sorry to see it go, but life is like that. "
