Alisson rejected Juventus in 2015

The Brazil international ensured Jurgen Klopp's side made it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a brilliant injury-time save from Arkadiusz Milik in the club's 1-0 win over Napoli on Tuesday night.

He joined the Merseyside-based club for a then world record fee of £65million after an impressive spell at Roma, however things could have been very different. 

While at Brazilian club Internacional, Alisson reportedly turned down Juventus citing that he "didn't want to be No 2 to Gianluigi Buffon". 

Italian outlet 'Calcio Mercato' are reporting that Alisson was a target for Roma three years ago but the Serie A side had already filled their quota of non-EU players.

The goalkeeper's contract at Brazilian team Internacional had only one year left and Juventus reportedly tried to hijack the deal and sign him for as little as €8m (£7.2m).

They state that he turned the move down as he felt like he would next get a chance at Juventus whilst legendary keeper Gianluigi Buffon was still at his peak.
