Roma were not in a position that they desperately needed to sell and they also did not want to let him go cheaply after being left frustrated at the price they sold Mohamed Salah’s last summer.
Liverpool managed to get the Egyptian ace for £36.7m which was soon dwarfed by huge figures when Neymar left Barcelona for PSG in a £200m deal.
Salah then went on to have a stunning debut season for the Reds during which he scored 44 goals.
Both Real Madrid and Chelsea were also interested in Alisson but Liverpool swooped first to agree a fee after they decided he was worth the huge fee, which significantly reduced from January.
He jetted back to Italy tonight where he will resume his holiday before linking up with his new team-mates for a four-day pre-season training camp in France on July 30.
