Liverpool FC set a transfer record with the takeover of AS Roma goalkeeper Alison Becker, 25 years old. 62.5 million euros will cost you the shot, another 9 million will probably come in the form of special bonuses. Alisson signed a six-year contract.

In May, the Romans had announced a price of 100 million euros for the guardian, which would have had a deterrent effect. The offer was "well above the market average," said Roman sports director Monchi. This means that the Liverpoolers were willing to pay almost any price for a goalkeeper sure standing between their posts in the coming season. The transfer is a confession of Reds coach Jurgen Klopp tied that he was wrong with his previous goalie strategy. Arrived in England in October 2015, the Belgian Simon Mignolet was number one. He was reactive, but on the flanks his nerves were beating, and he showed insecurities in the treatment of the ball.

After a season, Klopp gave him the whistle of Loris Karius, 22, formerly of Mainz. He was not up to it and made mistakes in mistakes. Klopp handed the Belgians in the goal, but said that the future belongs to the young German.

Last season, the two goalies proved to be attractive, but they did not seem convincing anyway. Klopp continued to support Karius and reinforced for defense with Dutchman Virgil van Dijk. But the mishap came during the Champions League final against Real Madrid, during which Karius made two inexplicable silly mistakes, which took away the Reds from the start.

This did not help the doctors to subsequently diagnose a concussion that was likely the result of a hidden fault of Sergio Ramos. Karius had become unbearable for the Reds. The pressure that would have weighed in had he remained the number one would not have been responsible. With Alisson, explained Klopp, he now has an absolute caretaker who even has the potential to go even better. We are not afraid that the record price may weigh it: "He has a very calm character He can cope with it."

"All we need"

In addition, the price in itself means nothing: "This is only a condition of the market.The price is only outside of the association a problem.It is only important in the l & # 39; team we have another wonderful player in the team. "Liverpool has spent 190 million euros in transfers this summer. The team was clearly reinforced with additions Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri. Other purchases are unlikely, says Klopp. "We now have everything we need for the new season."
