Liverpool
have completed the signing of goalkeeper Alisson Becker from AS Roma, according
to official website.
The
Reds have been keeping tabs on Alisson for the past several months and now have
finally concluded his deal for a world record fee around £62million.
The
26-year-old passed a medical earlier today and seal a long-term contract.
The
Brazilian goalkeeper was also on several top clubs' radar including Real Madrid and
Paris Saint Germain, but the Reds easily won the race.
Alisson
has been called as the “Messi of goalkeepers” by his coach.
Current goalkeepers Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius could now be planning for a
move away from Anfield. The former has been linked with several clubs, but the
latter might be happy to stay as a backup keeper.
Liverpool
legend Jamie Carragher also urged the club officials to sign a stopper after awful mistakes
from both the keepers.
Jurgen
Klopp has signed four players Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri so
far this summer. Nabil Fekir's move is also likely to happen in the next few
weeks.
Meanwhile, Liverpool third choice keeper Danny Ward has sealed a move to Leicester City for a reported fee around £10million.
