Liverpool’s goalkeepers have been routinely criticised this term, and it is widely thought that Jurgen Klopp should upgrade on Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
Alisson was on the Reds’ radar during the January transfer window, and it is likely Klopp could resurrect his interest.
Although a significant proportion of the money has been spent (£75million) on Virgil van Dijk, a new keeper appears to be a priority.
AC Milan shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarrumma has also been touted as a potential possibility.

“I don’t think many people have realised who Alisson is. This guy is a phenomenon. He is the number one of number ones. He is the Messi of goalkeepers, because he has the same mentality as Messi. He is a goalkeeper who can mark an era.
“There is absolutely no comparison with Gianluigi Donnarumma, because Alisson is extraordinary.
