Liverpool sign U17 World Cup winner Pitaluga who worked with Alisson’s brother at Fluminense

The Reds have added to their goalkeeping crop by snapping up another highly-rated Brazilian who has already enjoyed international success

Liverpool have added to their goalkeeping crop by bringing in Marcelo Pitaluga, an Under-17 World Cup winner with Brazil who worked with Alisson’s brother Muriel at Fluminense in 2019-20.

Goal learned back in September that a deal for the highly-rated 17-year-old was on the cards.

An agreement thought to be worth up to £2 million ($2.6m) has now been pushed through, allowing Pitaluga to join the ranks at Anfield, where he will work with the first team and represent academy sides.
