da doce: During the last few weeks it seemed that Liverpool fans would have to accept that Loris Karius remains the club’s number one goalkeeper.
da roleta: After the German’s costly mistakes in the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in May, most supporters urged for a new figure to go in between the sticks.
The Reds were linked with numerous names around Europe, but for a while it seemed that no deals would be done.
A few days ago, though, everything changed and now Liverpool have world-class stopped Alisson in their ranks.
The Merseyside outfit finalised what BBC Sport claim is a deal worth £66.8m on Thursday night, making the Brazilian the most expensive ever goalkeeper in the world.
Due to the desperate need of a new shot-stopper, it is fair to say that Alisson’s arrival is the most important signing the Reds will make this summer.

On Twitter, Liverpool fans expressed their delight, and some also gave a special mention to the keeper’s compatriot Roberto Firmino.
Many supporters believe that Jurgen Klopp’s false 9 played a hand in convincing Alisson to move to Anfield.
