Liverpool star Alisson Becker rejected a “massive offer” from Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr to continue his legacy at Anfield
Alisson Becker has rejected a “massive offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr to stay at Liverpool and continue his legacy. He represented his country against the United States of America in a friendly that ended in a 1-1 draw.
The 31-year-old joined Liverpool from AS Roma and became a vital part of Liverpool’s success under legendary manager Jurgen Klopp. Alisson played a crucial role in the Champions League, the Premier League, the Club World Cup and the FA Cup victories.
The Brazil international has established himself as one of the important locker-room leaders in the senior squad for the Reds. As Liverpool faces transition with new head coach Arne Slot succeeding Klopp at the helm, Alisson’s presence is indispensable.
The 31-year-old suffered an injury lay-off last season but maintained his position as the primary goalkeeper after returning from injury. Alisson fits the profile that Slot desires in a goalkeeper as he likes to build play from the backline.
The Brazilian is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and lacks any worthy replacement in the transfer market. According to Football Insider (via Liverpool Echo), Alisson rejected a “massive offer” from the Saudi club Al-Nassr to stay put.
Alisson is a good distributor of the ball from the backline which is an essential ability to play under Slot. Slot prefers the buildup play rather than looking for a more direct and counter-attacking approach every time.
Alisson is also an incredible one-on-one shot-stopper and commands the respect of his peers while dictating instructions. Last season, the Brazilian visibly voiced more commands than the Reds captain Virgil van Dijk, displaying his importance.
