Alisson has revealed his reasons for choosing Liverpool over Chelsea in the summer transfer window. He has been part of Jurgen Klopp‘s side that have risen to the top of the Premier League and the Reds are now four points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
The Brazilian goalkeeper, who moved to Anfield from Roma in the summer, has kept 12 clean sheets as Liverpool have only conceded 10 goals in the league this campaign, a big improvement on this stage last term. “I chose Liverpool for the same reasons I went to Roma when I first left Brazil, I thought this would be the best move for my career,” Alisson said.
“Chelsea were changing their manager and not playing in the Champions League. I’ve also always admired Liverpool’s history. This is a club with five European Cups in their trophy cabinet. I really wanted to be part of that history.”
Alisson faced Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals for Roma last season before Klopp’s men went on to play Real Madrid in the final. The 26-year-old wants the Reds to go one better this time and realise his “dream” of winning the Champions League.
“I came very close to winning the competition with Roma and I’m working hard to make it happen now with Liverpool,” Allison added “What’s life if not fighting for your dreams? I dream of winning the Champions League.”
