Not heard of Marcelo Pitaluga, you say? Then you are oneof many who have not noticed that the Brazilian goalkeeper plays for the Premier League’s best club. Now you just have time to get to know the 22-year-old before he disappears from the ball island.
When you play goalkeeper for Liverpool, you have to come to terms with the fact that the club has perhaps the world’s best goalkeeper in Alisson and what the supporters like to call “the world’s best second goalkeeper” in Kelleher. For the talented Brazilian goalkeeper Pitaluga, the dream of replacing the Brazilian hero Alisson has not come any closer.
Pitaluga was brought to Liverpool from Fluminense in 2020, but since then has only seen games in Liverpool’s second team and loan spells at St. Pat’s and Livingston.
According to hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, Liverpool and Fluminense have agreed that Pitaluga will return to the youth club on a free transfer.
This does not mean that the young goalkeeper does not have great potential. Liverpool know what is in the 22-year-old, and according to Romano, have negotiated a solid repurchase clause of 40 percent (receives forty percent of the sale price).
This means that the Liverpool goalkeeper continues his development at Brazil’s 13th best club and increases his market value – which should give Liverpool a nice win in a few years when Pitaluga returns to top European football.
