When Liverpool signed Alisson Becker in the summer of 2018, joining from AS Roma in a deal worth a potential £65m, the Brazilian, temporarily, became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world. And while that record was swiftly broken, since then neither the Reds nor the shot-stopper have ever looked back.
One of the best goalkeepers in the world, the 29-year-old has proven himself to be one of Jurgen Klopp’s greatest signings. In his four years at Anfield, the Brazil international has helped his side win the Champions League, Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, European Super Cup, League Cup and FA Cup, while also being part of the English’s top-flights leanest defence on three occasions and lifted two Premier League Golden Gloves, the Yashin Trophy and The Best FIFA Goalkeeper award, alongside other individual accolades.
Sure, there has been the occasional mistake along the way, as is the case with any goalkeeper, but that doesn’t affect his standing on Merseyside. Whenever the time comes for Alisson to move on from Liverpool, presumably in the rather distant future, he will quite rightly be regarded as one of the Reds’ greatest ever goalkeepers.
