The 25-year-old will eclipse Gianluigi Buffon and Ederson as the most expensive keeper of all time.
Last term, he was sensational in Serie A and made zero mistakes which led to opposition goals.
If Alisson can take to the Premier League the way we did Italy, Liverpool could be genuine title contenders.
It’s been years and years since we’ve had a no.1 we can trust wholeheartedly.
Hopefully, he’ll have the same positive influence on the team-mates around him that Virgil van Dijk did when he arrived in January.
