Liverpool set to make Alisson most expensive goalkeeper ever

Liverpool have sealed the €75m signing of Alisson, making him the most expensive goalkeeper in the history of the game.

Gianluigi Buffon had been the world’s most expensive goalkeeper for an incredible 17 years, with Juventus forking out over €52m for the Italian way back in 2001 but that fee is now dwarfed by the sum Liverpool are paying AS Roma for Brazil’s number one.

After deals to take Naby Keïta, Fabinho, and Xherdan Shaqiri to Anfield, Alisson becomes the club’s fourth summer signing, taking the club’s spending to €200m for the summer.

The Brazilian shone in Roma’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season, earning him attention from the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea.

It is Liverpool, though, who have captured him.
