As the summer transfer window draws to a close, one player who has caught the eye is Flamengo's goalkeeper, Alisson Becker. The Brazilian shot-stopper has been in fine form for his club this season and has been linked with a move to Europe.
The 25-year-old has been a key player for Flamengo, helping them secure a place in the Copa Libertadores final last year and also being named as the best goalkeeper in Brazil by CNN in 2019. He has made over 170 appearances for the club and has been praised for his strong reflexes, good distribution and ability to read the game well.
However, there have been some concerns about Alisson's injury history. In January 2018, he suffered a broken leg in a friendly match against Palmeiras and it took him several months to recover fully. This injury did not stop him from playing for Flamengo during that time, but it was a setback that could have affected his fitness levels going into the 2018-19 season.
Despite these injuries, Alisson has continued to impress and has played a crucial role in Flamengo's success so far this season. His performances have helped the team maintain their position at the top of the Serie A table and they will be hoping to continue their winning run when they face rivals Corinthians in the next round of fixtures.
It remains to be seen whether Alisson will join a European club in the upcoming transfer window or if he will stay put at Flamengo. However, one thing is certain - his performance for the club has earned him plenty of praise and admiration from fans and critics alike.
