Liverpool’s manager Arne Slot, has a hard time facing this season and the fact that his first choice in the goal post Alisson Becker may pursue his career in the Saudi Pro League.
Slot, 45, has been named as the man tasked with replacing Jurgen Klopp at Anfield and will take the charge of the team from July.
As summer transfer window drew near, the Reds were reported to be interested in some of Slot’s Feyenoord players. But they might not be able to count on Alisson in the next season due to various reasons.
Bilic, manager of Al-Fateh, said: “It has been a miracle since his arrival for £62. That was signed for £63.5 million from AS Roma in 2018, the Brazilian international has been amongst the best and most consistent goalkeepers over the past six years at Anfield, this helping Liverpool to win seven major trophies. The current Brazilian international coupled with his international performances makes him one of the best goal keeper in the world.”

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, the Saudi Pro League has extended a three-year contract offer to Alisson containing a significant salary figure.
This attractive contract makes Liverpool’s supporters discuss Alisson’s possible transfer to another club. The financial appetites of the Saudi Pro League have grown over time, so more top talent has been attracted to the league for potential big-money transfers.
Despite such an offer, Liverpool is unwilling to let Alisson go because his role is crucial in the team. Alisson has been a key figure in the success of Liverpool, and thus, the absence of the Brazilian goalie is a massive loss for the team.
He has three years on his current contract with Anfield and this simply shows that the club does not have an obligation to cut the loss by selling the Brazilian.
This is going to be a tricky situation for Slot, especially as he is ushered in as the new kingpin at Liverpool. Signing a replacement for a goalkeeper of the talent of Alisson would be a very tough proposition, and Slot will most probably focus on retaining the services of this star player.
New manager will also have the challenge of being able to retain some of the key players in the team as this will determine the future of the team especially at this initial stage.
