The Reds briefly made the Brazil international the most expensive goalkeeper in world football, with Jurgen Klopp having to bring in a new No. 1

The Brazil international is considered to be one of the finest goalkeepers in world football, but his summer transfer raised the financial bar considerably when it comes to players in his position.
A £65 million ($85m) deal briefly made the South American the most expensive shot-stopper of all time, before Chelsea then topped that agreement with their signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
