It is no secret that Liverpool are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer. The lacklustre displays of Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have been too much to handle and we have been linked with AS Roma sensation Alisson Becker. And if latest rumours are to be believed, Becker has made moving to Anfield his “top priority”.
As per a report from The Mirror, Alisson has expressed a desire to move to the Premier League and Liverpool is where he wants to be.
European giants Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the £62m but the fact that he wants to move to Liverpool ahead of these two clubs should be reason enough for Jurgen Klopp to prepare a move. The 25-year-old shot-stopper is blessed with lightning-fast reflexes and he displays commendable composure and mental strength in goal – qualities which have been missing from our goalkeepers this season.
He has maintained a whopping 14 clean sheets for the Italian club this season and given his power, there is no doubt that he could prove to be an incredible signing for us.
We have struggled at the back for a good majority of the season so far but our back line has improved considerably and now if we can acquire Alisson’s signature during the summer transfer window, there is no limit to what he can achieve the next season.
Our attack has been incredible this time and if we continue this way, we could pose a serious title challenge next term. From what I have seen of Alisson game this season, he is a talent worth splashing the cash on and he is definitely worth targetting this summer.
Now that he reportedly holds Liverpool ahead of his other suitors, Klopp must do everything he can to actively pursue a deal for him once the season comes to an end. Our challenges will only intensify from here on and to have a reliable player in goal will certainly boost our chances.
