McAteer:"Liverpool overpaid for Alisson but had no choice"

Liverpool overpaid for Alisson, says Jason McAteer, but they didn't have other choice. “I think the goalkeeper – like a centre-half or centre-forward – comes at a premium now.So, knowing Liverpool were in the market for a keeper put a premium on the transfer fee, but that’s the way it was. “I think [Alisson] is the right man for the job – with Jurgen and his philosophy, he likes a keeper that plays out from the back and is comfortable with his feet.” Alisson Becker is considered to be one of the finest goalkeepers in world football, but his summer transfer raised the financial bar when it comes to the players of his position. A £65 million deal briefly made Brazilian international the most expensive shot-stopper of all time, before Chelsea signed Kepa Arrizabalaga.
