Alisson may have had a fine start to his Liverpool career but according to reports, He wasn’t the first choice for Jurgen Klopp. Atletico Madrid shot stopper Jan Oblak was the preferred choice bu the transfer didn’t materialise and the Reds went on to sign Alisson instead.

The Brazilian international has adapted to Premier League conditions quite beautifully as he has registered three consecutive clean sheets in the top flight so far.

Both Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet had been given adequate chances to prove their worth but none of them managed to convince Klopp and the German gaffer decided to bring in reinforcements this summer.

Oblak has been a crucial part of Diego Simeone’s plans in the Spanish capital and luring him to the Premier League wouldn’t have been easy. However, the Slovenian international does have a €100 m release clause in his contract but Klopp was reluctant to spend this enormous amount and thus opted for the former AS Roma keeper.

Oblak is in the line to put pen to paper to a brand new deal which could also increase his release clause.
