5 transfer records that have been broken this summer

#3. Most expensive goalkeeper - Alisson Becker

Alisson is Brazil's #1

Liverpool have undergone a massive change in fortunes under Jurgen Klopp after a few years of mediocrity under previous managers and one reason behind that is the German manager’s brilliant signings.

Under Klopp, Liverpool broke the transfer record for the most expensive African player (thrice), most expensive defender and now the most expensive goalkeeper.

Before the Reds completed a move for Alisson Becker, in euros the most expensive goalkeeper was Gianluigi Buffon and in pounds, the record belonged to Ederson of Manchester City. This confusion was because of the change in the exchange rate.

However, now there is no confusion about who is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world in euros or pounds after Alisson completed his move to Liverpool for £56 million plus £9 million in add-ons.

There has been a lot of discussion about the money Liverpool spent on the player, but if you see his numbers from the 2017/18 season, you’ll understand why the Reds spent so much money on the Brazilian.
