However, having been called-up to the preliminary Brazil squad for the Copa America, the ‘keeper is not keen to lose his place at international level.
“Dunga has said clearly that it will depend on how you’re playing with your club ahead of the international breaks,” Alisson noted in a Press conference.
“I’m going to Roma to play, but now I'm focused on the national team and the Copa America. I always try to make the most of any opportunities I get.”
Wojciech Szczęsny was the Lupi's first-choice in goal this season, but it's not clear if he'll sign permanently, having been on loan for Arsenal during this campaign.
