Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp assures Alisson won’t feel pressurised by his transfer fee, after a world record move from Roma.
The Brazilian has become the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, breaking Gianluigi Buffon’s 17-year-old record with a €72.5m switch to Anfield.
“There was a world-class goalkeeper on the market, and the club gave us the opportunity to sign him – simple as that,” Klopp told the Reds’ official website.

“There was a world-class goalkeeper on the market, and the club gave us the opportunity to sign him – simple as that,” Klopp told the Reds’ official website.
“Of course, for a long time it’s been clear that Alisson is a top class goalkeeper, but there was never a real chance to do it. This year there was the chance.
“He’s a very calm person. It’s not his price, it’s not the price we want to pay, it’s only the price the market demands. That’s how it is, no problem with that.
“The size of the story is only outside. We don’t think about that. We know what everyone will say about this, but it’s not really important.
“We have now another wonderful player in our squad and that’s the only thing we are looking for.
“We have everything we need for the next season, because I don’t think we will do anything more [in the market]. I’m pretty sure of that.”
