Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been out for a long time this season due to injury. Second goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher performed well during his time away from the pitch, but has returned to the starting line-up on his return.
The former Roma defender arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2018 and helped the club win the Premier League and Champions League with his consistent goalkeeping. He has become one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is competing with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson for a starting place in the Brazilian national team.
According to The Telegraph, Saudi Arabia have set their sights on the former Internacional goalkeeper, who has become an absolute force at Liverpool, after acquiring the name value player last summer and are set to make a move in the transfer market this summer.
The Saudi Professional League are planning to draw from the Premier League as well as Alisson. In addition to fellow Brazilian goalkeepers, they are also eyeing Manchester United’s Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.
He is also expected to play a key role in the new Liverpool regime, and is expected to remain in charge of the defender after Klopp’s regime comes to an end. Therefore, there is no intention to sell him, no matter how much money is on the table, and there is no doubt that he will continue to play at Anfield next season.
The Saudis have made a number of signings from around the world in the past year, but will they be looking to make another big splash this summer?
