Alisson had numerous clubs interested in signing him this summer, but he chose to go to Liverpool and he’s revealed that he was advised to join the Reds by Philippe Coutinho.
Coutinho left the Reds to join Barcelona in January but it seems like he still holds the Reds in high regard, based on what he told his international teammate.
As reported by the Metro, Alisson said:
[Coutinho] spoke highly of Jurgen [Klopp] and about the players. He said there is no vanity in the squad but it’s a very ambitious squad with a strong desire to win. Coutinho also said he was very happy here with his family, which is really important. Our wives spoke to each other too and they said they had a great time living here, and we are very happy.
Alisson also spoke about the atmosphere at Anfield that he experienced as an opposition player when he was part of a Roma side that lost 5-2 in the Champions League semi-finals and said that also played a part in him joining the club.
The atmosphere I experienced here contributed to my decision to sign. There was also the way the Liverpool team played. It’s not dependent upon one player, it’s a real group effort. It’s a team that plays with.
