Liverpool and Real Madrid target Alisson can be world's best – Taffarel

A Brazilian legend has backed his fellow countryman to develop into the finest goalkeeper on the planet, be that at Roma or elsewhere

Roma and Brazil shot-stopper Alisson can become the world's best goalkeeper, according to Claudio Taffarel.

Alisson, 25, is being linked with a move to Liverpool and La Liga giants Real Madrid after impressing in the Serie A, having joined Roma from Internacional in 2016.

Taffarel, who played for the likes of Parma and Galatasaray during his club career and won the 1994 World Cup during 101 caps for Brazil, believes Alisson is capable of becoming the world's best.
