OFFICIAL : Alisson to Liverpool

Mashallah transfer trophy coming back to Anfield

Can't believe Klopp is trying to spend here but I doubt this transfer will complete.

Think there is a good chance Chelsea hijacks this deal, some reports he prefers Chelsea if it comes down to Liverpool and Chelsea.

I did just read that Sarri was reported to have contacted Alisson to convince him to come to Chelsea instead. Dunno the outcome of that, but it would seem plausible.

Either way, I don't like that we lowered the asking price, but I understand it given we can't pay him the wages he wants and deserves. 70m is still far more than he's realistically worth, but we should be able to get a suitable replacement for him. Areola is the favorite.

If Chelsea is selling Courtois to Real then we have no chance matching Chelsea's package to Allison.

Depends if Alisson wants to live in Liverpool, he most likely won't want that but the project is more interesting in Liverpool I think

We are apparently paying 35 mil for Courtois while they will spend 75 mil for a lesser keeper

75m for Allison is absurd. He isn't even better than Szcznesy

75M for an overrated goalie

Oh well, at least Karius won't be starting now.

I saw Alisson trying to defend high balls in the world cup, I was like

I don't know, for that money I might rather play Mignolet and spend the dough elsewhere...

Wasen't he Madrid first choice?

All I'll say is Alisson made more saves inside the box than any other keeper of a top-half side on the continent. That must count for something.

Without him, we don't get to the CL semi's. He arguably won us just as many points in Serie A as our forwards did. His price overrates him, but he's a top keeper nonetheless now.

Nick just hating on a proper goalie so he can continue to push his Courtois agenda. Ugh, out of all the stuff he got right, it really looking like Courtois transfer.

People hype the shit out of him all season and when he's sold for big money he's shit apparently lol.

Football fans in a nut shell.

Technically, those people hyping him were Serie A watchers. Those who never really watched much of Roma bar CL ties and WC would say he is shit and not worth that price. I for one would rather him than Conetois but the football Gods are punishing me.

He's one of the most overrated players of recent times. Unreal fee. Cilessen is better imo.

if liverpool sign him it wont be for 70mil euros. no way will liverpool pay that.

Agree. There are GK better than Mignolet/Karius for way less than 70 mil. We are going overboard here.

You have to make sure the rumor is truly legit though.

Personally, I have no idea whether it holds a certain amount of truth. However, I remember a few years back, Klopp said (in reference to United buying Pogba) that he would never spend that much on one player even if he had enough money to fund such a move. Now, keep in mind that was in response to United buying a midfielder.

I don't know if he sees things differently now, but if what he said is anything to go by, a guy who downright refuses to spend 100m on a midfielder wouldn't spend 70m on a goalkeeper.

but you have to remember that when manure signed jogba the price for alisson would have probs been about £20mil. the price of players has just gone silly now.

yeah, he seems to have developed a habit of hanging up the phone on all the elite players and going after unproven Brazilian teenagers (not that I think that Alisson is elite, but you get what I'm trying to say)
