Alisson reveals why he snubbed Chelsea to join Liverpool

Former Roma goalkeeper Alisson spoke to Four Four Two about his summer move to Liverpool. The Brazilian was wanted by both Liverpool and Chelsea but, in the end, he opted to wear Red for a fee close to € 70 million.

The talented goalkeeper revealed why he opted to move to Anfield Road: “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.

“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.

“I came very close to winning the competition with Roma and I’m working hard to make it happen now with Liverpool. What’s life if not fighting for your dreams? I dream of winning the Champions League.”
