With Liverpool on the brink of completing the transfer of Alisson from Roma, it has been revealed that the Brazilian was in favour of a move to Anfield ever since the two clubs met in the Champions League semi-finals in April.
Alisson travelled from Italy to England today and is expected to take a medical tomorrow morning ahead of a £66.8m (€75m) move - a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
Although the deal was only agreed this week, the move can be traced back to when Roma visited Anfield in April. They lost 5-2 and were eliminated from the competition despite a 4-2 win back in Rome.
