The reason why Alisson Becker wore the number 110 shirt for Brazil against Mexico

The reason why Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker wore the number 110 shirt for Brazil against Mexico has been revealed.

On Saturday, Brazil and Mexico faced off in a pre-Copa America friendly at Kyle Field in Texas. The match was an entertaining encounter, with Brazil securing a 3-2 victory. Dorival Junior’s team went 2-0 up thanks to goals from Andreas Pereira and Gabriel Martinelli. Julian Quinones pulled one back for Mexico before Guillermo Martinez Ayala made it 2-2 in stoppage time. However, Endrick headed in the winner for Brazil in the sixth minute of added time.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, who captained Brazil, was spotted wearing the number 110 shirt instead of his usual number one jersey. The number 110 shirt was worn by Alisson as a tribute to the 110th anniversary of the Selecao, marking a special occasion for the Brazilian national team.

Heading into the summer transfer window, Alisson has been linked with a potential move away from Liverpool. Reports have suggested that clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in the 31-year-old goalkeeper. However, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has clarified Alisson’s situation.

In his Caught Offside column, as per Empire of the Kop, Romano stated: “Let me clarify on Alisson who has a long-term contract with Liverpool but we have many rumours about Saudi. It is true that there was interest from Saudi. End of February, beginning of March, they approached Alisson about a potential move. But what I’m hearing is that Alisson is really happy at Liverpool and they’re really happy with him. So I see him staying and playing an important part in Liverpool’s new project.”

Alisson’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire in the summer of 2027, indicating his long-term commitment to the club amidst the transfer speculation.
