Devastated Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker desperately tried to find a way to fly to Brazil following the tragic death of his father but had to make the heartbreaking decision to stay in the UK, according to a source close to the star.
Jose Agostinho Becker, 57, drowned Wednesday afternoon in a lake on the family's ranch near the town of Lavras do Sul, southern Brazil.
Mr Becker's body was found at around midnight by the bank of a river by friends and employees of the property who had started a search after his concerned family had raised the alarm at around 5pm.
