Alisson is determined to prove as much value for money to Liverpool as former Roma team-mate Mohamed Salah.

The Reds splashed out £65million to take Alisson from the Serie A side and make him, at least temporarily, the most expensive goalkeeper in the world.

The Brazil international followed the path of Salah, who switched from the Stadio Olimpico to Anfield for £36.9m last summer.

While the fee at the time raised eyebrows, it is now seen as a bargain with the Egyptian having scored 44 goals in his debut Reds season while claiming both the PFA Player of the Year and Footballer of the Year awards.

And Alisson wants to similarly demonstrate his price tag will eventually be considered somewhat cheap.

“Yes, it was a big deal for Roma, they had a record fee and they were happy,” said the goalkeeper.

“And I'll work very hard to make sure it's a good deal for Liverpool too, which is more important.

“I know that Salah was (thought) a good deal for Roma, but now people say it is a good deal for Liverpool.

“I want to work hard to ensure that yes, people say they paid a (bargain) price for me too, eventually.”

Real Madrid and Chelsea had both tracked Alisson during the summer until Roma's asking price dropped sufficiently for Liverpool to make concrete their long-standing interest.

And the goalkeeper admits that lengthy courting period made it easy to agree to a transfer to Anfield.

“It's a thing that's so important to me – to be happy and wanted, to feel valued,” said Alisson in the Mirror. “That is what Liverpool made me feel.

“They are a huge club, they have had many great players. But when I came here, where I spoke to the people here, they made me feel wanted.

“All the staff, all the people, not to mention the players. It is an amazing group, some of them I have worked with before, like Salah at Roma.

“I feel as though we can form a really tight group, working together to support each other. We are a team already, I can feel that. We can achieve good things together.”
